there is more momentum and it depends on what your arm swing speed is when you throw a Bowling ball because on your follow through there is more momentum going with a heiver ball rather than a lighter ball

Which is heavier a bowling ball or a astronaut?

a bowling ball is much heavier than a astronaut under the action of gravity


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.


Will a lighter ball fall faster than a heavier ball?

No, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight due to the acceleration of gravity. This was famously demonstrated by Galileo with his experiments involving balls of different weights. Thus, a lighter ball will not fall faster than a heavier ball in a vacuum.

Which one would go faster with the same kinectic energy bowling ball or a golf ball?

The golf ball would go faster because it has less mass compared to the bowling ball but the same kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is determined by both its mass and its velocity, so the lighter golf ball would be able to achieve a higher velocity with the same amount of kinetic energy as the heavier bowling ball.

Why is a heavier bowling ball a greater advantage in bowling?

A heavier bowling ball can be a greater advantage in bowling because it has more momentum and energy when it hits the pins, increasing the chances of knocking down more pins with each roll.


If a bowling ball and a baseball are rolling at the same speed which one will stop first?

Aaah, I think you might be up to something with this one. The easy answer of course would seem to be that the lighter 5 kg bowling ball will be easier to stop moving compared to the heavier 10kg bowling ball. However, let's say that both balls are moving at a speed of 30 mph. If the heavier 10kg bowling ball is rolling alone on pavement, while the lighter 5 kg bowling ball is also moving on pavement, at the same speed, but in the front seat of a delivery truck! Well then, my money would say that the heavier ball would actually be the easier one to stop moving.


Which of this object that has more inertia Bowling ball or tennis?

Since the lightest tenpin bowling ball is currently 6 pounds and a table tennis ball is not even an ounce, the tenpin bowling ball is heavier.


What can you do to make the lighter ball harder to stop than heavy ball?

To make the lighter ball harder to stop than the heavier ball, you can increase the lighter ball's velocity or decrease the heavier ball's velocity. This strategy exploits the kinetic energy of the moving objects, as the faster-moving lighter ball will have more kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated upon impact, making it harder to stop. Additionally, you can manipulate the surface material or shape of the balls to affect their friction and bounce properties, impacting how quickly they come to a stop.


In bowling is it better to use a light weight ball for increased speed?

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.
