The kinetic engery of the ball as it travels down the lane is one half the mass of the ball times it's velocity squared (Ek = 1/2mv^2). If both balls are travelling at the same speed, a heavier ball will transfer more energy to the pin(s) it strikes than a lighter one. Imparting more energy to the pins will cause them to move faster (and possibly bounce around more) after impact.
However, the key to pin action (having one pin knock down another pin) is really ball trajectory. The motion of the pins after impact is esentially determined by the location where the ball strikes the pins (1-3 pocket, 1-2 pocket, etc.) and the direction the ball is traveling (and spinning) when it does so.
The goal is to select the heaviest ball you can deliver consistently.
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.
ok so the men's basketball is heavier obviously while the girls is a little bit lighter. Therefore the heavier of the ball the more muscel you need to make it go higher. This shows the girls basketball would be easier to bounce high.
If the ball is lighter than the hard ball, then it is because a heavier ball has more force when moving at the same speed as a lighter ball. If they weigh the same, then it is because in some instances, with certain materials, a hard ball with a lot of "ping" to it will bounce further than a rubber ball, due to motive energy being converted to heat in the polymers of the rubber ball, thus decreasing the total motive energy.
No it does not. The heavier yo-yo has more mass, meaning it will spin slower than a lighter yo-yo.
Its because it has much more air than a basketball so it is heavier.
A basketball is lighter than a bowling ball.
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
Better for what? A stick's weight is really a personal preference, as lighter ones are more suitable for dribbling and other skills where a heavier stick is more useful for hitting.
Yes, because of two things mainly. First of all a larger ball usually means a heavier ball, a more heavier ball requires more energy to give it motion so if the catapult can only supply a certain amount then a heavier ball will get less initial speed. Secondly a larger ball is affected more by air resistance (although this is offset a little because of the increase in mass), so a larger ball will get less far before it looses all its speed.
the weight of the ball does have an impact because the heavier the ball the more drive through the pin thus creating more pinfall.
The lighter a certain object is, the more likely it is to float, if the object is heavier, the object will sink.
BECAUSE THE FORCES AREN'T EQUAL IF THEY WERE THE BALL WOULD FALL STRAIT DOWN. the bat (even if it were lighter than the ball) has more inertia/energy which cancels out the kinetic energy of the ball, the residual kinectic energy of the bat that isn't canceled out changes the direction of the ball, the more direct the angle the more effective and further the ball will go
