Why doesn't gravity act upon a bowling ball being rolled in a bowling alley?

It does act upon it. If gravity weren't acting upon the ball, it would float into the air instead of remaining on the alley floor.


Can a blimp filled with carbon dioxide float?

It can, if you fill the balloon with air and let it float on the carbon dioxide. We used to do this with soap bubbles to illustrate certain effects of surface tension (for example, the fact that bubbles of the same size form a planar interface, but the interface between bubbles of different sizes bulges towards the larger bubble, proving the pressure in the smaller one is higher... it's much easier to see this when the bubble isn't actively falling towards the floor as you're trying to observe it). Put a piece of dry ice in the bottom of a large bath jar, and allow the bubbles to float on the denser carbon dioxide layer in the jar. Filling a balloon with carbon dioxide, though, will not cause it to float, as carbon dioxide is denser than air.

A balloon filled with air is released in a room filled with carbon dioxide will the balloon float to the ceiling or sink to the floor?

The density of a gas depends on its molar mass. Under the same conditions, gases with molar masses less than air will float, while those with molar masses greater than the molar mass of air will sink in air. Air has the equivalent of a molar mass of 29 g/mole. How do you think that value was obtained?
