kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When the bowling ball is released and rolls towards the pins, it carries kinetic energy that is transferred upon impact, causing the pins to move.
thow the bowling ball as hard as u can
After you have released it, it has kinetic energy = 1/2mv2
The most massive one. That's PROBABLY the bowling ball.
Answer=Transferred to the pins.
Mechanical Energy
The adult's bowling ball will have more kinetic energy because it has more mass and is likely moving at a higher velocity compared to the student's bowling ball. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass and the square of its velocity, so a heavier ball moving faster will have greater kinetic energy.
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.
The bowling ball has the greatest amount of kinetic energy because it has more mass compared to the ping-pong ball, even though they are traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass, so the object with higher mass will have more kinetic energy.
back up ball, hook ball, curve ball,
a bowling ball
The force of the bowling ball colliding with the golf ball causes the golf ball to be redirected in an elastic collision. How fast either travels depends on the friction of the surface and the angle of contact with the bowling ball.Comparative Masses and EnergyIn the collision between a golf ball and a bowling ball, the fact that the bowling ball continues to move (although possibly changed in direction) is a function of the comparative masses of the two. The bowling ball is much more massive, so at normal velocities its kinetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy of the golf ball. In order to "stop" the bowling ball, the golf ball would have to make a perfectly aimed collision, and have a much higher velocity. Quantitatively, the velocity of the golf ball would have to be the inverse ratio of the ratio of the masses of the two balls, so that the kinetic energy (mass times velocity) is equal and in the opposite direction.Example : Golf ball at 45 g, ten pound bowling ball at 4500 g -- the golf ball would have to move at 100 times the velocity of the bowling ball to counteract its kinetic energy. If the bowling ball rolls at 2 m/sec, the golf ball would have to travel at more than 200 m/sec (720 kph or 447 mph), about 3 times a ball's normal velocity off the face of a golf club.
