a ball would roll better on one surface vs the other because one surface may have more friction the the other surface. For example a smooth surface like a polished wooden floor would have a ball roll better than a carpet where the hairs are stopping the progression of the ball.

A small ball is is put on top of a bigger ball and left to roll down the surface of the bigger ball. Where would the small ball leave the surface of the bigger ball?

it will leave the surface of the other ball roughly 1/4 of the way down to the other end.


Does the type of ball affect how well it spins in water?

The factors to consider here would be: 1) The surface texture of the ball, in other words, is it smooth or rough or dimpled like a golf ball? Drag is produced by the water passing over the ball's surface. 2) The material making up the ball's surface can be attractive or repellent to water molecules. Presumably a ball with an oily surface would spin better though I've never experimented.


What bowling ball is better a 2 cruel or a primal scream?

It would depend on the lane condition, the style of deliver from the bowler, ball speed, surface adjustments to the ball and the drilling pattern used.


Which surface lets a ball roll farthest?

A ball rolling along any surface will be slowed by friction. Different materials used for the ball and the rolling surface will affect the distance a ball will roll but in general, the smoother and more polished the surface is, the further a ball will roll.


Iference between mouse track ball?

Well track balls would be better do to being able to use it on any surface


What surface will ball roll fastest on?

Dirt , assuming it is flat and dry . The answer depends upon the velocity of the ball and what resistance there is in either the dirt or grass .


Why tennis ball is covered with fabric?

Surface area is increased - it allows the racket to get a better grip for spin- it will slow the ball down because of increased air turbulence - it does change other aerodynamic properties; the seams stabilize the ball


Does the different type of surface affect the distance a ball travels?

Yes. The viscosity, smoothness, slant, hardness and other factors of the surface would affect the distance a ball would travel. For example, a ball will travel much farther down a wet aluminum slide than up a sand dune.


What bouncy ball bounces the highest?

the type of bouncy ball that bounces the highest our golf balls but that is only on hard surface other wise it would be your standard bouncy ball out of the machines that are 50 cents(:


How does finction cause a ball to slow down?

It does because when the ball hits the surface and the surface magnified would look rugged anyways when the ball hits the surface the friction pulls on the ball causind it to slow down and if you roll a brick down a hill you will find it will stop easier than a ball smooth surface


Does the surface affect the speed of a rolling object?

Obviously it does but it depends, the more friction the surface produces the slower the ball will go. Also it depends on how you are going to roll the ball, using a ramp or by hands. But using a ramp would be better because when you use your hands to roll the ball, each time you roll it will slightly be different like the pressure. (;


If a ball was composed of 129600 faces how then would pi apply?

A ball with that many faces would be close to a sphere, so its volume ans surface area, and other properties could be approximated using pi.
