Best Answer

There are two main reasons:

  • A Bowling pin, at around 3 lbs. 8 oz., is much lighter than even the lightest bowling ball, while the opposite is true for a cinder block.
  • In addition, the odd shape of the pin (with its small base and larger middle) brings its center of gravity up off the floor much higher than a cinder block of equal height. This makes the pin far more likely to tip over when struck.

What has more inertia a balloon or a cinder block?

Inertia is the ability of the object to resist changes in the state of motion. It would be harder to push a cinder block and make it accelerate. Therefore, the cinder block has more inertia. The more mass, the more inertia.

Why are bowling balls heavy?

So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.

It depends on how fast they're going. A bowling ball is much heavier, therefore has more momentum if they're both travelling at the same speed.

Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?

No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
