If I hit all the pins, but one was with 1 ball, one was with 2 balls and one was with 3 balls, would I get differnt scores, or the same score in each senerio?

Yep you do get 3 balls, at least you do in the computer bowling game. The computer calculates the score, so I have no idea how they are doing it. I think this is 10 pin bowling.

Nocking all the pins down and getting a strike is the same thing.
I think, I am not a big bowler, but I think, that when you get a spare, it means that you knocked down all the pins except one.
Hope this helps!

For a strike you get 10 points Plus the sum of the next two bowls.
For a spare you get 10 points Plus the score of the first bowl.
You should only get two bowls per turn, unless you're playing lawn bowls!
Eg: First bowl = strike = 10
Second bowl- 8 and 2= 10 Total: 10+8+2+10= 30
Third bowl = 9 and 1= 10 Total: 30+9+10= 49
Forth bowl= strike = 10 Total: 49+10+10= 69
Fifth bowl= 5 and 1= 6 Total: 69+5+1+6= 81
and so on...

Marshall's given a thorough answer of the physics. So I'll stick mainly to it's effect. The swing ball has an optimal speed. It's generally thought that 'normal' swing of a ball can only happen if the drag effects aren't counteracted by the sheer momentum of the ball, and so bowlers who bowl a little slower and pitch the ball a little fuller (giving it more time to slow in the air) are likely to get late swing. There's an equation that I never could really get that determines an optimal and two of the main parameters are comparative drag on each side of the ball and momentum. The effect is that a ball bowled at just the right speed for the ball (and of course sent through the air in a good position), will have momentum enough to keep it straight until it gets close to the batsman and then as it slows, start to swing in or away. The effect gives it a hyperbolic deviation to speed realtionship. In simple terms "late swing"! Ideally a ball needs to move the amount a batsman can adjust his shot + about 50mm to get the edge. This of course varies from batsman to batsman, which is why a bowler has to 'work a batsman out'. A guy like Tendulkar, seems to have a massive capacity to adjust. Steve Waugh's weakness always seemed to be he wasn't as quick to adjust. Seam is just as described in the answer above but tends to provide a less pronounced movement directly off the pitch. To move that amount (adjustment + 50mm), it needs to be pitched shorter. This is a different type of adjustment because it's a sudden reflex. So Steve Waugh always seemed to be able to cope, where Tendulkar seems more vulnerable to it (hence Tendulkar's not quite so brilliant avergaes in Australia - but I still wish I was that "bad" of course)

For each frame, you only get 2 balls, 2 chances to knock down all 10 pins. If you do it in 1 ball, you get a strike and your score will be 10 PLUS whatever score you get on your next 2 balls. If you knock down all 10 pins in 2 balls, you get a spare and your score is 10 PLUS whatever score you get on your next ball. If you fail to knock down all 10 pins for a frame, then your score is whatever number of pins you knocked down.

You lost me on 3 balls.....
strike...knock them all down with the first ball
spare...two balls in a row are required
knock them all down...1st ball...its a strike...
2nd ball...(missing all with the first ball..called a gutter ball) it is considered a spare.
Each scenario is different....An original strike requires you to throw two more balls to get the score for the frame with the strike....A spare requires one more ball (the first one in the next frame) Knocking down all the pins (with the first ball of the frame) is the same as the strike....
new to bowling??

The difference between a spare and a strike goes down whenyou add the frames.. Ex 1frame its a X 2nd frame another X, 3rd frame another X... that means that in the first frame the total points is 30... After a strike you are allowed to add thetotal pins down fromthe next two frames or shots.
