When filled or partly filled with air, tennis balls will float. However, some of the materials in them are heavier than water. If the air is removed, some tennis balls may sink in water, as do rubber tires.

How-to make a floating and sinking bowling ball?

To make a bowling ball float or sink, it's necessary to manipulate its density. To make it float, decrease its density by drilling holes or using materials like foam. To make it sink, increase its density by adding weight to the ball or filling it with denser materials like lead.


If soccer ball and a bowling ball are about the same size why does the bowling ball have more mass?

A soccer ball is hollow and filled with air, which has little density. A bowling ball is solid material of a much greater density. * Because bowling balls have a standard size, about 21.8 cm in diameter, bowling balls weighing less than 5.4 kg (12 lb) will float in water.

Why doesn't gravity act upon a bowling ball being rolled in a bowling alley?

It does act upon it. If gravity weren't acting upon the ball, it would float into the air instead of remaining on the alley floor.


When will a solid float in a liquid?

When the solid has a lower density than the liquid, it will float in it. The density is the mass divided by the volume. A bowling ball, while heavy, has a lower density than water, so it will float in water. A pebble, while light, has a higher density than water, so it will sink. In general, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Law). This means that the upward force on a bowling ball in water is equal to the weight of the same volume of water. Since a bowling-ball sized amount of water weighs more than a bowling ball, the upward force is greater than the weight of the bowling ball, and the submerged bowling ball will have a net force in the upward direction.
