This can be a tricky question; before answering one like this ask for the frame of reference.
If you are in a closet with a floating feather, and a ball on a shelf, and measure momentum relative to the closet, the feather will have more momentum than the Bowling ball.
However, if you look at the larger picture, you will find that
- the earth is rotating
- the earth is orbiting the sun
- the sun is moving relative to other stars near us
- the sun is orbiting our galaxy
- our galaxy is moving relative to other galaxies.
Every one of these motions involves momentum, and the total momentum is shared out among everything on or in this planet in proportion to its mass. The bowling ball is enormously massive compared to the feather, and has vastly more momentum in the universal frame of reference.
The answer is correct, but the last sentence is wrong. There is no universal frame of reference.

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.
Which has more mass a bowling ball or a table tennis ball?
a bowling ball
Which has more volume a bowling ball or beach ball?
Most likely the bowling ball. According to the laws of physics, an object with more inertia accelerates slower but is harder to stop. The bowling ball accelerates ...
Which one has more inertia a bowling ball or a basketball?

Which ball has more momentumgolf ball or tennis ball or soccer ball or bowling ball?

Does tectonic plate size affect earthquake magnitude?
I believe it does. If you imagine it with a bowling ball and two tennis balls, when you roll one tennis ball into another stationary tennis ball, it rolls away, but not that far. Now repeat the same experiment with a bowling ball and a tennis ball, the result is much clearer as to which moved the stationary tennis ball more. The bowling ball did as it has a larger mass and size.
Which of the following objects has the greatest inertia baseball bowling ball pencil or toothpick?
I think the golf ball has more inertia than ping pong ball, becuase of its weight. It is much heavy which result that it could stay at rest more, than a very lightweight ping pong ball.
Why does golf ball have more mass then a tennis ball?
A bowling ball is heavier than a tennis ball for a number of reasons. Two of which should be obvious: The bowling ball is bigger and therefore weighs more for it has more mass. And the bowling ball is made of a denser material and is solid. A tennis ball is made out of rubber and is hollow and filled with air.
What object has more gravitational force a marble a tennis ball a bowling ball a sand grain?
sand grain
Does a bowling ball on earth have more inertia than one on the moon?
No, a bowling ball (or any other object) has exactly the same inertial mass no matter where it is (its actual inertia will, of course, depend upon its velocity as well as its inertial mass). Weight changes on the moon, but inertia doesn't.
Which has more inertia a bowling ball or beach ball?
Most likely the bowling ball. According to the laws of physics, an object with more inertia accelerates slower but is harder to stop. The bowling ball accelerates slowly but has a high mass. The beach ball accelerates quickly but has a low mass. So the bowling ball has more inertia.
What exactly is inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of motion of an object. The more inertia, the harder it is to move something. The less inertia, the easier it is to move. Take a bowling ball and a marble. The marble can be flicked by the finger, because it has less inertia. The bowling ball takes the entire hand because it has more inertia than the marble. According to Newton's laws, an object that is moving tends to continue in motion. A moving object has inertia as it has Mass and Velocity. An object that is not moving requires a Force exerted on the Mass to start it moving.
