If a car and a bowling ball were thrown off a 100 foot cliff at the same time which would hit the ground first?

All things fall at the same acceleration so they would accelerate at the same rate. From 100ft they would hit at roughly the same time, possibly the he ball would hit a little sooner. The weight difference would have no effect. Any difference is due to air resistance. The car has more and will therefore fall fractionally slower. If they fell in a vacuum they would hit at exactly the same time (no air resistance). If they fell from a much higher height (not in a vacuum) the ball would hit first as it has a lower cross sectional area so would have less air resistance and therefore a higher terminal velocity.

How many ballls thrown in a frame of bowling?
If you are referencing tenpin bowling, you throw 2 balls each frame for the first 9 frames, unless your first ball in a frame is a strike, to which only the one ball is thrown. In the 10th frame, 3 balls are thrown unless a strike is not made with the first ball or a spare is not made with the 2nd ball.
What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.

True or false if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from a three story building at the same time the bowling ball hits the ground first?
In a vacuum, both will hit at the same time. The bowling ball will do so in normal atmosphere due to the friction of the air.
Which one would hit the grond first if thrown from the fifth floor at the same time a 16 lb bowling or a 10lb blowing?
Every item in free fall on earth has an acceleration due to gravity of 10 meters per second squared regardless of weight. They would hit the ground at the same time.
Which one will fall first if thrown from a same height- 5kg or 10kg?
Depends which one is thrown first ... you didn't mention whether they're thrown at the same or different times. If they're dropped, or thrown in exactly the same way, at exactly the same time, from exactly the same height, then they'll hit the ground at exactly the same time.

In baseball if there are two outs and a runner on third and the batter hits a ground ball and is thrown out at first does a run score if the runner got home before the batter was thrown out?
nope, as long as you get the out no runs count.
