Ok so when one drops a bowling ball hanging from a rope, it won't come back and smack him in the face. This I can understand, due to potential energy of gravity and conservation of energy. However when someone pushes the bowling ball, how can you show that it will rise higher than the original height and hit the person in the face? Is there a Work external or is it the Kinetic Energy starting out the Work-Energy Theorem?
