What makes a bowling ball harder to stop than a soccer ball when they are both traveling at the same speed?
The bowling ball is harder to stop because it has a greater mass, and therefore a greater momentum. But the answer is that the bowling ball has a greater mass.
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.
How can a bowling ball and a volleyball have the same momentum?
Linear momentum, p=mv, is proportional to mass and velocity. Since the bowling ball far outweighs the volleyball, the difference in velocity would have to be determined in order for them to possess the same amount of momentum. If the volleyball is traveling at a high enough speed (orders of magnitude higher), they can both have the same momentum. Either that or fill the volleyball with concrete.
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
When a bowling ball collides with the pins the momentum of the ball and the pins after the collision is explained by?
inertia
What does physics have to do with bowling?
Friction, (ball against floor), momentum, etc.
What happens to the momentum of the bowling ball when it hits pins?
Energy is transferred to the pins and the deflection and contact of the pins will typically slow the ball momentum.
Which object has the greatest inertia A. a tennis ball B a bowling ball C a beach ball or D a volley ball?
Bowling Ball
Which ball requires the greatest force to move it golf ball basketball baseball bowling ball?
the bowling ball will be the one that requires the most force to push,however it has the most potential energy so once it starts rolling it will roll for a long time depending on the surface it is traveling on.
What quality of a bowling ball enables it to plow through a set of pins without slowing down?
The bowling ball does slow down. Momentum is conserved. It's just that it's a heavy ball so it has a lot of momentum, and the pins are light so overall the ball doesn't slow down enough for us to notice.
In an events chain concept map showing what happens when a bowling ball strikes the pins how does the momentum of the bowling ball change at the time of impact?
it slows down
