What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
What information is needed to calculate an object's weigth?
Weight= mass x gravity Gravity on earth is 9.8 but we use 10
What is the mass of s bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon?
The mass of a bowling ball remains the same on both Earth and the Moon, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location. However, its weight, which is the force of gravity acting on that mass, would be different due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull. Thus, while the mass stays constant, the bowling ball would weigh less on the Moon than it does on Earth.
How much does a bowling ball weigh on Mercury?
A 16 pound bowling ball on Earth would weight approximately 6 pounds on Mercury.
How will your weigth change if you go higher above the earth?
When you go higher, the gravitational acceleration drops ( <9,8m s-2 ) So that means that you weigh les than on the surface of the Earth, but your MASS stays the same!
Why is the mass of a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of the bowling ball on earth different on the moon?
You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.

What is weight (in pounds) of a 7.0 kilogram bowling ball on earth surface?
The weight of a 7.0 kg bowling ball on Earth's surface would be approximately 15.43 pounds. This calculation is based on the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
How much does Jupiter weigth?
Jupiter does not actually 'weigh' anything. It is in free fall around the Sun. It does however have a mass which is around 318 times that of Earth. You could balance Jupiter with 318 Earths.
What is the mass of a bowling ballthe same on earth and the moon?
The mass of a bowling ball remains the same on both Earth and the Moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location. However, its weight would differ due to the varying gravitational forces; a bowling ball weighs less on the Moon than on Earth. Specifically, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so while the mass stays constant, the weight decreases significantly.
How could you carry out a demonstration on Earth of a feather falling at the same rate of a bowling ball?
To demonstrate a feather falling at the same rate as a bowling ball on Earth, you can create a vacuum chamber to remove air resistance. When both the feather and the bowling ball are dropped in the vacuum, they will fall at the same rate due to the absence of air drag affecting their descent, as demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment on falling bodies.
How does the moon influence the earths axial tilt?
The moon stabilizes the Earth's axial tilt, like a counter balance. Picture someone swinging a bowling ball around their body, at the end of a 3 foot (1 meter) chain. If they get the ball spinning fast enough, they will have to lean back to counter the centrifugal force of the bowling ball. When the rotational velocity is stable, and the person's angle of leaning is stable, it is a suitable representation of the Earth-Moon system. The bowling ball is the moon, the person is the Earth.
