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.
