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.


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 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 second one because the little friction turns to thermal energy while the first one... no energy transformations are occuring. except potential energy


Which has greater density a bowling ball or a soccer ball?

Well, the acceleration an object experiences under gravity is the same! This much is not dependent on the mass. So both balls will gain the same amount of speed every second while falling towards the ground. They will fall at the same speed, as long as we assume there is no wind resistance, or external forces causing a noticeable acceleration.

Why are kenetic and potential energies the same?

they are not the same. kinetic energy is energe that an object has due to its motion. potential energy is stored and held in the readiness. for example kinetic energy would be like a bowling ball knocking over bowling pins. unlike kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, potential energy is stored and may be used later on like a car stopping at a red light.

What is it called in bowling when you knock down all but 1 pin?

Knocking down all the remaining pins after the second ball in tenpin bowling is termed as a spare.


Which device is used for converting potential energy into kinetic energy?

There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.


Would you use a bowling ball covered in wool?

No, the wool would absorb some of the energy, making the bowling ball less effective for its purpose.
