Does a bowling ball sitting on a shelf have more potential energy than a baseball ball on the same shelf?
My bet is on the bowling ball. At 20000 ft the pull of gravity is only marginally smaller than that of the baseball bat at 2 ft above sea leval. Because both have been lifted to their respective hights giving them potential energy, I would keep out of the way of the ball.
Which has more thermal energy a 5kg bowling ball that has been resting n a hot driveway for 4 hours on a 35 Celsius day or the same bowling ball rolling down a lane in air conditioned bowling alley?
The bowling ball resting on the hot driveway will have more thermal energy due to absorbing heat from the hot surface for 4 hours. When the bowling ball rolls down the lane in the air-conditioned bowling alley, it will lose some of that thermal energy as it moves and interacts with the cooler indoor environment.
When a 5.0 kg bowling ball is rolling down the lane at 4.0 milliseconds . What is the kinetic energy of the bowling ball?
From the information provided it is impossible to answer the question. You require the velocity or speed of the ball and that is not measured in milliseconds - which a measure of time!
Which has greater density a bowling ball or a soccer ball?
A bowling ball typically has greater density than a soccer ball. This is because the materials used to make a bowling ball, like resin or urethane, are denser than the materials used in a soccer ball, like leather or synthetic materials.
The inertia of a bowling ball is what the inertia of a basketball?
No, the inertia of a bowling ball is greater than the inertia of a basketball due to the bowling ball's larger mass. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, and a heavier object like the bowling ball requires more force to accelerate or decelerate compared to the basketball.
