When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?
Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.

Will a 8-lb bowling ball dropped from the fifth floor drop before a 10-lb bowling ball?
Near the surface of the earth, all objects fall with the same acceleration; after any period of time spent falling, all objects are falling with the same speed, and have fallen the same distance. If there's any difference in falling behavior between two objects, it's the result of air resistance. If they fall through a region where there is no air, a feather and a battleship fall with the same acceleration. If they're dropped side by side, they stay side by side all the way down. This has been known for roughly the past 500 years. Right. The gravitational attraction is bigger, but so is the inertia in the same ratio.

What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
How could you carry out a demonstration on Earth of a feather falling at the same rate of a bowling ball?
To demonstrate a feather falling at the same rate as a bowling ball on Earth, you can create a vacuum chamber to remove air resistance. When both the feather and the bowling ball are dropped in the vacuum, they will fall at the same rate due to the absence of air drag affecting their descent, as demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment on falling bodies.
If you drilled a hole straight through the earth and dropped a bowling ball down the hole would the ball come to rest at the center?
The ball will NOT come to rest. It will oscillate around the center of the earth in simple harmonic motion. Incorrect. the ball will rapidly reach a terminal velocity ( maximum speed given the resistance of the air). as the ball gets closer to the center of the earth it will slow down as the force pulling the ball towards the earth it has already passed through becomes closer to the force of the earth the ball has not yet passed. Upon reaching the center of the earth. the bal will minimal , and for a short time, oscillate until rapidly coming to rest at the center of gravity.

How much does a bowling ball weigh on Mercury?
A 16 pound bowling ball on Earth would weight approximately 6 pounds on Mercury.
Why is the mass of the bowling ball the same on earth and on the moonbut the weigth of the bowling ball on the earth is different on the moon?
The mass of the bowling ball remains the same on both Earth and the Moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change regardless of location. However, weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, which varies depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body. Since the Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's, the weight of the bowling ball is significantly less on the Moon than on Earth.
When two objects of different masses are dropped at different positions will they fall at the same speed?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that they will fall at the same speed regardless of their mass or starting position. However, in the presence of air resistance, the speed at which they fall may vary.
When there is no air resistance objects of different masses dropped from rest?
I like this one! If there is no air, then objects dropped from the same height at the same time, on any planet and regardless of their mass, will all accelerate at the same rate, have the same speed at any instant, and hit the ground at the same instant. That's true of a car, a feather, a bowling ball, or anything.
