Best Answer

A marble has more mass than a piece of popcorn having a similar size, because the material in the marble is denser than popcorn.

The atoms in the marble's elements are more closely structured, whereas the popcorn is an expanded carbohydrate starch with a substantial amount of liquid (water) and gas (air) inside. The marble was also already more dense than the unpopped kernel.

It would vary because marbles come in several different sizes. They also come in a variety of materials like glass, agate, flint, etc. The denser the material the more mass it would have. Therefor, a 3/4" marble of flint would have more mass than one the same size made of glass.


When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?

All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).

Which has more kinetic energy bowling ball or soccer ball?

That depends how large the piece of marble is, and how fast each is moving. If you take a regulation basketball and a basketball made out of marble, and throw both of them with the same speed, the marble has more kinetic energy. But if your throw is any good, they both follow the same arc, and they both sink, for a total of 4 points.
