Explain using Newton's second law Why can you throw a golf ball further than a bowling ball even though you throw both at the same angle and with the same amount of force?

both will have same kinetic energy ,so forward velocity will be lower for Bowling ball , the time to go up then down to the ground under gravity will be the same for both, so distance = velocity * time , so lighter (Golf)ball will travel further because its velocity is higher
second thoughts,
assume launch angle same for both, ball with greater launch velocity will travel further. (laws of ballistics)
if work done on ball (f * d) is same on both , the lighter ball will have greater launch velocity, though both will have same kinetic energy at launch

Is thrust measured with newtons?
Yes. Any unit of force can be used to indicate the amount of thrust.
Explain the difference between mass and weight?
The Difference:Mass - is the amount of matter in an objectWeight - the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an objectHow they are measured:Mass - balanceWeight - scaleUnit of measurement:Mass - grams (g) and kilograms (kg)Weight - newtons (N)
What happens when someone pushes a chair across the room using newtons second law of motion?
The chair movement is dependent on its weight and the amount of force
How much gravity is on Mercury in newtons?
The force of gravity, or more precisely the gravitational field, is not measured in newtons - and it isn't really a force, because the amount of force depends on the mass. Wikipedia lists Venus' gravitational field as 8.87 m/s2; this is equivalent to 8.87 newton/kg.
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.
What is pot bowling?
Pot bowling in tenpin bowling is when you are bowling for money. It may mean bowling against another player or a team against a team for an amount of money.
Does the amount of newtons affect the distance of an object?

If oranges weigh 16.7 newtons on earth what would their weight change be on the moon?
on the moon it will weigh roughly 1/6 the amount of newtons as it does on earth. So 16.7 on earth would be about 2.8 newtons on the moon.
Which answer best estimates the dollar amount of scholarships provided to players by bowling yearly?

Not sure what you mean, but force is measured in the SI unit of Newtons (N)
Is thrust measured with newtons?
Yes. Any unit of force can be used to indicate the amount of thrust.
How many newtons are there in one gallon of water?
The Newton is a unit of Force, the gallon is a unit of volume. You can not convert gallons into Newtons or Newtons into gallons.
One person weighs 600 newtons and the other weighs 555 newtons Which person has more kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy measures the amount of energy a person has as they are in motion. In this instance, the person who weighs 600 Newtons has more energy.
