Linear momentum, p=mv, is proportional to mass and velocity.

Since the Bowling ball far outweighs the volleyball, the difference in velocity would have to be determined in order for them to possess the same amount of momentum.

If the volleyball is traveling at a high enough speed (orders of magnitude higher), they can both have the same momentum. Either that or fill the volleyball with concrete.

Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?

momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum


If a bowling ball and a soccer ball are rolling along the ground at the same speed the bowling ball has more of this because its mass is greater?

The bowling ball has more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the two balls are moving at the same speed, the greater mass of the bowling ball results in it having more momentum.


Can a bird and a bowling ball have the same momentum?

No, a bird and a bowling ball cannot have the same momentum because momentum depends on both an object's mass and its velocity. Since a bowling ball has much more mass than a bird, even if they were moving at the same speed, their momenta would still be different.


Which has more momentum a golf ball or a bowling ball?

A bowling ball has more momentum. You cannot throw it as fast, but a tenpin ball weighs 16 pounds and a baseball only 1/3 pound. Momentum is mass times velocity and if you throw the bowling ball at 10 mph but the baseball at 90 mph the bowling ball still has much more momentum.


If a bowling ball and a golf ball are moving at the same velocity which one would have more momentum why brainly?

The bowling ball would have more momentum because it has more mass than the golf ball. Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity, so a heavier object moving at the same velocity will have more momentum.


What does momentum have to do withe volleyball?

with out momentum the volleyball wouldn't travel, eg: when you throw the ball it carrys momentum through the air, but as soon as force isn't applyed to keep the ball traveling at the same speed, it will loose speed (momentum) and drop to the ground.


What makes a bowling ball harder to stop than a soccer ball when they are both traveling at the same speed?

The bowling ball is harder to stop because it has a greater mass, and therefore a greater momentum. But the answer is that the bowling ball has a greater mass.


The momentum of a bowling ball decreases by 0.5 kg meters per second when it hits some pins How much momentum did the pins gain Explain?

The pins gained the same amount of momentum that the bowling ball lost, according to the law of conservation of momentum. So, the pins gained 0.5 kg meters per second of momentum in the opposite direction to the bowling ball's initial momentum.


what has the greatest momentum a bowling ball traveling at 10 kph or a bowling ball traveling at 20 kph?

The bowling ball traveling at 20 kph has greater momentum than the one traveling at 10 kph, assuming both have the same mass. Momentum is calculated using the formula ( p = mv ), where ( p ) is momentum, ( m ) is mass, and ( v ) is velocity. Since the second ball has a higher velocity, its momentum will be greater, making it more impactful in motion.


Why is it easier to stop a soccer ball than a bowling ball?

It depends on how fast they're going. A bowling ball is much heavier, therefore has more momentum if they're both travelling at the same speed.


Is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity Which is this an example of?

It is an example of momentum (sometimes called "inertia"). Velocity x mass. The bowling ball is much, much heavier. With both rolling at the same speed, the bowling ball is harder to stop because it has much more mass.


Which one has more inertia a fast bowing ball or a slow bowling ball?

Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, and it depends on the object's mass rather than its speed. Therefore, if the fast bowling ball and the slow bowling ball have the same mass, they have the same inertia regardless of their speeds. However, the fast bowling ball may have more momentum due to its higher velocity, but inertia itself is solely a function of mass.
