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 must robin do to increase the kinetic energy of the bowling ball?
thow the bowling ball as hard as u can
The boncy ball rubber ball and a bowling ball are about to dropped in the height which has more gravitational potential energy?
The most massive one. That's PROBABLY the bowling ball.
When a bowling ball hits the pins at the end of the what energy from the ball is?
Answer=Transferred to the pins.
A bowling ball striking the pins is an example of which type of energy?
Mechanical Energy
If a bowling ball and ping-pong ball are rolled down the highway at identical speed which ball has the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
The bowling ball because it has more mass
Which device is used for converting potential energy into kinetic energy?
There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.
Would you use a bowling ball covered in wool?
No, the wool would absorb some of the energy, making the bowling ball less effective for its purpose.
Which one would go faster with the same kinectic energy bowling ball or a golf ball?
Kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity. Therefore, an object with more mass, such as a bowling ball, would have to go slower than an object with less mass, such as a golf ball. So, if given the same amount of kinetic energy, a bowling ball will go faster than a golf ball, because it has more mass.
What kind of energy does a bowling ball have as it rolls toward the pins?
Kinetic.
Which has more mass a bowling ball or a table tennis ball?
a bowling ball
If a golf ball and a bowling ball collide and the bowling ball keeps moving How did the golf ball's speed compare with the bowling ball's speed?
The force of the bowling ball colliding with the golf ball causes the golf ball to be redirected in an elastic collision. How fast either travels depends on the friction of the surface and the angle of contact with the bowling ball.Comparative Masses and EnergyIn the collision between a golf ball and a bowling ball, the fact that the bowling ball continues to move (although possibly changed in direction) is a function of the comparative masses of the two. The bowling ball is much more massive, so at normal velocities its kinetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy of the golf ball. In order to "stop" the bowling ball, the golf ball would have to make a perfectly aimed collision, and have a much higher velocity. Quantitatively, the velocity of the golf ball would have to be the inverse ratio of the ratio of the masses of the two balls, so that the kinetic energy (mass times velocity) is equal and in the opposite direction.Example : Golf ball at 45 g, ten pound bowling ball at 4500 g -- the golf ball would have to move at 100 times the velocity of the bowling ball to counteract its kinetic energy. If the bowling ball rolls at 2 m/sec, the golf ball would have to travel at more than 200 m/sec (720 kph or 447 mph), about 3 times a ball's normal velocity off the face of a golf club.
