Why is riding a bike rolling friction?
Because the portion of tire touching the ground is not moving relative to the ground.
Will a car or a bowling ball hit the ground first?
bowling ball
Why does a ball rolling on the ground slow down?
Friction from the air and ground will slow down the ball's motion.
A bowling ball and a bag of potato chips are dropped at the same time from a tall tower on Earth. What happens?
The Bowling ball will hit the ground fist not because it has more mass but because it is less affected by wind resistance [resistance to its movement through the air] If the effect of wind resistance where [somehow] negated they would hit the ground at the same time. [The bag of potato chips: Open or closed? Assumed closed for this answer]
Does a marble and a bowling ball hit the ground at the same time?
If they are released at the same time at the same height they will hit the ground at the same time.
Why is riding a bike rolling friction?
Because the portion of tire touching the ground is not moving relative to the ground.
Will a car or a bowling ball hit the ground first?
bowling ball
Is a bowling lane level?
No. It is on even ground.
What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.
What would happen if there was no friction when a tire was rolling on the ground?
It would keep rolling.
Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
How do Rayleigh waves move the ground?
Rayleigh waves cause the ground to move with an elliptical, rolling motion.
What has greater gravitational force two people or two continents?
Two continents have a greater gravitational force than two people due to their larger mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so the continents would exert a stronger gravitational pull compared to two people.
Would a bowling ball and feather hit the ground at the same time on the moon?
No, Unless you put force behind them, neither. The lower gravity would cause them to just sit there were you let go of them. But if you did put force behind them; the bowling ball would hit the ground first, solely because of its weight and momentum.
Why does a ice-hockey puck have less friction than a ball rolling on the ground?
Ice has a much smoother surface than the surface of the ground, therefore there is less friction acting on the hockey puck compared to a ball rolling on the ground. Ice is nearly a frictionless surface.
What would happen if there was no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?
no
What can move the ground with a rolling up-and-down motion?
An earthquake.
