Why is baseball not in the olympic'?
The Baseball is not in the Olympics because it is a demonstration sport. Baseball was dropped from the Olympics in 2005 by the International Olympic Committee.

A cannon ball and a bowling ball were dropped at the same time from the top of a building At the instant before the balls hit the sidewalk the cannon ball had greater?
Momentum. Momentum is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. This is expressed as: p=mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Also, kinetic energy, as that is 1/2 m*v^2.

Do objects dropped from greater distance hit with a greater force?
Yes. In the formula P=mv, momentum, which governs the force of the impact, is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the velocity. As the velocity increases, so does the momentum, therefore the greater the height dropped from, the greater the force of impact.
Is it possible that two falling bodies of different mases to have same momentum while striking the ground?
Sure, if either of the following conditions is true: -- The smaller mass started dropping before the larger mass did. As long as (MsmallVsmall) is equal or greater than (MbigVbig), the smaller mass has equal or more momentum than the larger one has. But of course, the momentum of the larger mass catches up as its speed grows. -- The smaller mass and the larger mass were dropped at exactly the same time, but on different planets. Then, if the smaller one was dropped in a place where gravitation is greater, and the greater mass was dropped in a place where gravitation is less, it's quite possible for the smaller mass to have more momentum than the larger mass has, at least for a while. If the acceleration of gravity on the larger planet is at least (larger mass x acceleration of gravity on the smaller planet/smaller mass) or more, then the smaller mass has more momentum than the larger mass has forever, or as long as they're both freely falling.
Who was the major league baseball catcher to catch a ball dropped off of the Washington monument?
Legend has it that there were three that pulled the stunt. The first was Pops Schriver of the Chicago Colts who caught a ball from the Monument in 1894. Clark Griffith, Schriver's teammate, leaned out a window at the top of the Monument and tossed the first ball which, legend has it, Schriver allowed to hit the ground so he see how high it bounced to determine whether attempting to catch it would rip his hand off. Being satisfied he could pull the stunt off, the second ball was tossed which he caught cleanly. The second was Gabby Street of the 1908 Washington Senators who missed 12 or 14, based on who is telling the story, before he caught one. Street was reportedly given $500 for the stunt. The third was Billy Sullivan of the 1910 Chicago White Sox who caught 3 of 11 balls from teammate Ed Walsh. Obviously, all three wore catcher's mitts, which in those days were kind of like wearing a pillow, to catch the ball.
Why does a golf ball make a bigger dent in the sand when dropped above the sand at higher heights?
It has more momentum from a higher height. Because momentum is always conserved, and momentum is the product of mass times velocity, more sand particles must move away faster in order to conserve the momentum of a heavy ball moving fast. The ball is moving faster from a higher height because the acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) increases the velocity of a falling object after each second its been falling.

Why does napalm make a long line of fire when its dropped as a single bomb and why does it seem to explode on impact?
It really doesn't. What happens is that the bomb explodes on impact and the momentum causes the fluid to continue moving along the line of motion.
A stone of mass m is dropped from rest at a height of 2point88 m From what height would a stone of mass m divided by 2 have to be dropped to have the same momentum upon striking the ground?
x=1/2at2 and a=9.81m/s2 so 2.88m = 4.905t2 t = 0.77 s v=at so v= 7.5 m/s momentum = mv = (m)kg* 7.5m/s = 7.5m Now with a mass of m/2 having a momentum of 7.5m we have to double the velocity. 7.5m = 7.5(m/2)*2 = 15m To get a velocity of 15m/s 15m/s = at so t= 1.53 s distance is x=1/2at2 x=1/2at2 x= 11.48m
