Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon than it does on earth?
On the moon. When a golf ball is struck on earth, gravity slows it and brings it to a halt. On the moon, there is very little gravity, so the potential energy of the golf ball is limitless.
Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
Is a earth a ball or an oval?
ball shaped like a bowl
What kind of motion would you expect if you threw a ball at the moon?
The same motion a ball would do on earth. Theoretically, it would go much further on the moon, but the astronauts who threw things on the moon were restricted by their pressure suits. They couldn't reach back and throw anything. They had to fling it like a discus. Had they been able to throw overhanded, it would have gone a lot further.
What is the weight of a newtons ball that weighs 11lb?
On earth, an 11-pound ball weighs 48.902N
Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
Why does a golf ball fly further when the weather is hot?
As the temperature of the air (or any gas) increases, the density decreases, which in turn decreases the amount of resistance on the ball. So a ball struck with the same amount of enrgy will fly further when it's hot.
Why is it possible to hit a golf ball much further on the moon than on earth?
Because there is no atmosphere to slow the ball by friction and the gravity is lower so the ball is less affected

Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.
Does a ball go further an grass or dirt?
a ball can go further than grass and dirt
How can you drive the ball further?
rig the ball or club.
How far can you throw a ball on the moon?
From Apollo By the Numbers (see related links for URL) "Before reentering the LM, the CDR dropped a golf ball onto the surface. Using the head of a "6-iron" attached to the handle of the contingency sample collector, he attempted to strike the ball but struck mostly soil and barely moved the ball. The second swing sent the ball a few feet to the right. He dropped a second ball which he hit into a crater about 50 feet away."
Does heat effect the distance a golf ball travels?
Yes it does. If it is warmer the ball will go further, also if you are higher up the ball will go further as the air is thinner. When its cold it is better to heat up your golf ball before you play as it will go further.
What is largest ball in the world?
The earth itself is the largest ball on earth.
Who believed there were fire ball inside of earth?
Scientists believed that first the earth was a ball of fire. They believe that the earth formed around this ball of fire, thus meaning the ball of fire is the Earth's core.
What are the five laws of golf?
#1. The speed of the clubhead at impact greatly affects the distance the golf ball will travel. A faster club head speed will cause the ball to travel further; a slower club head speed will lead to less distance. #2. The degree to which the ball is struck in relation to the club's "sweet spot" affects both the distance and direction of the ball. The closer to the sweet spot the ball is struck, the further and straighter the ball will travel. #3. The direction the clubface is pointed at impact greatly affects the direction of the flight of the ball. The more the toe or the heel of the club is in front at impact, the more side spin will be imparted to the ball which will influence the curvature of the ball's flight. #4. The initial direction the ball flies after impact is greatly influenced by the path of the clubhead. The faster the clubhead speed at impact, the greater this influence will be. #5. The steepness of the club's path at impact affects both distance and curvature. A steeper angle of attack will cause the ball to go higher and less far because of the degree of backspin generated. A ball struck above its center of gravity will go lower than a ball struck below its center of gravity.
