What else can I help you with?
The energy associated with a bowling ball knocking down bowling pins is?
The bowling ball transfers its kinetic energy (energy of movement) to the stationary bowling pins.
What quality of a bowling ball enables it to plow through a set of pins without slowing down?
The bowling ball does slow down. Momentum is conserved. It's just that it's a heavy ball so it has a lot of momentum, and the pins are light so overall the ball doesn't slow down enough for us to notice.
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 a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of the bowling ball on earth different on the moon?
You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.
How does inertia help us?
Inertia deals with an objects reluctance to change its velocity. So if its not moving, you will have to exert a large force to get it to move. But once it is in motion, its inertia helps it move by lowering the breaking effect of resistance. If you throw a bowling ball through a grass field, it will go father than a beach ball thrown in a similar manner, because the bowling ball has more inertia!!
Which one has more inertia a bowling ball or a basketball?
A bowling ball has more inertia than a basketball because inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass. The larger mass of the bowling ball means that it will be more resistant to changes in its state of motion compared to the basketball.
Does a basketball have the same less or greater inertia than a bowling ball?
greater than
Is the inertia of a bowling ball the same as a golf ball?
No, the inertia of a bowling ball is greater than that of a golf ball. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass, so the heavier the object, the greater its inertia. The mass of a bowling ball is much larger than that of a golf ball, resulting in greater inertia.
Which of this object that has more inertia Bowling ball or tennis?
Since the lightest tenpin bowling ball is currently 6 pounds and a table tennis ball is not even an ounce, the tenpin bowling ball is heavier.
Why does a basketball accelerate more than a bowling ball?
A basketball is lighter than a bowling ball.
Which object has the greatest inertia A. a tennis ball B a bowling ball C a beach ball or D a volley ball?
B. A bowling ball has the greatest inertia because it has the most mass compared to the other objects listed. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass, with greater mass resulting in greater inertia.
Which has more mass a bowling ball or a table tennis ball?
a bowling ball
What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
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.
Which has more volume a bowling ball or beach ball?
Most likely the bowling ball. According to the laws of physics, an object with more inertia accelerates slower but is harder to stop. The bowling ball accelerates ...
When a bowling ball collides with the pins the momentum of the ball and the pins after the collision is explained by?
inertia
Why does bowling ball and bowling pin must have a great deal of inertia?
Because there both very heavy
