First, find an increment of distance. In between one place and another. Then, time how long it takes for the ball to get from point a to point b.
Velocity= Distance divided by Time

If a golf ball and a bowling ball collide and the bowling ball keeps moving How did the golf ball's speed compare with the bowling ball's speed?
The force of the bowling ball colliding with the golf ball causes the golf ball to be redirected in an elastic collision. How fast either travels depends on the friction of the surface and the angle of contact with the bowling ball.Comparative Masses and EnergyIn the collision between a golf ball and a bowling ball, the fact that the bowling ball continues to move (although possibly changed in direction) is a function of the comparative masses of the two. The bowling ball is much more massive, so at normal velocities its kinetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy of the golf ball. In order to "stop" the bowling ball, the golf ball would have to make a perfectly aimed collision, and have a much higher velocity. Quantitatively, the velocity of the golf ball would have to be the inverse ratio of the ratio of the masses of the two balls, so that the kinetic energy (mass times velocity) is equal and in the opposite direction.Example : Golf ball at 45 g, ten pound bowling ball at 4500 g -- the golf ball would have to move at 100 times the velocity of the bowling ball to counteract its kinetic energy. If the bowling ball rolls at 2 m/sec, the golf ball would have to travel at more than 200 m/sec (720 kph or 447 mph), about 3 times a ball's normal velocity off the face of a golf club.
How do you measure density of bowling ball?
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.
Momentun of 6.0kg bowling ball with velocity 2.2m s?
A bowling ball of 6.0 kg with velociity of 2.2 m would be 2.72. This is taught in math.
How is math used in bowling?
calculate the force of the ball and statistics
Is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity Which is this an example of?
It is an example of momentum (sometimes called "inertia"). Velocity x mass. The bowling ball is much, much heavier. With both rolling at the same speed, the bowling ball is harder to stop because it has much more mass.
When a 5.0 kg bowling ball is rolling down the lane at 4.0 milliseconds . What is the kinetic energy of the bowling ball?
From the information provided it is impossible to answer the question. You require the velocity or speed of the ball and that is not measured in milliseconds - which a measure of time!
It is harder to stop a rolloing bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity THis is an example of?
This is an example of momentum, which is a product of the object's mass and its velocity. It is also harder to start a bowling ball rolling than a ping-pong ball due to inertia, which is related only to the object's mass.
How does a marble have more momentum then a bowling ball?
Possibly but not likely.
Can a bird and a bowling ball have the same momentum?
Yes. Momentum is simply the product of mass x velocity. If the bowling ball happens to be on the shelf, then even a housefly or a falling piece of tissue has more momentum.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
If skylar throws the football 50 meters in 3 seconds what is the average speed (velocity) of the football?
The average speed is 16.66... (repeating) metres per second. It is not possible to calculate the average velocity without further information because, due to gravity, the velocity is changing continuously during the ball's flight.
Which has more momentum a golf ball or a bowling ball?
A bowling ball has more momentum. You cannot throw it as fast, but a tenpin ball weighs 16 pounds and a baseball only 1/3 pound. Momentum is mass times velocity and if you throw the bowling ball at 10 mph but the baseball at 90 mph the bowling ball still has much more momentum.
