Will a 10 pound bowling ball hit the ground the same time as a 16 pound ball?

Yes, the two Bowling balls will hit the ground at the same time. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s2 [downward] and this applies to all objects; it does not change depending on the mass of an object. As a result, any two objects dropped from the same height will hit the ground at the same time (assuming the aerodynamic forces acting on the objects are negligible).
Note that the force of gravity varies slightly on Earth. For example, at the poles, the force of gravity is slightly greater than at the equator due to the fact that the poles are closer to the center of the Earth.

If a bowling ball and a soccer ball are rolling along the ground at the same speed the bowling ball has more of this because its mass is greater?
Friction
Does a marble and a bowling ball hit the ground at the same time?
If they are released at the same time at the same height they will hit the ground at the same time.
True or false if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from a three story building at the same time the bowling ball hits the ground first?
In a vacuum, both will hit at the same time. The bowling ball will do so in normal atmosphere due to the friction of the air.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
If you have a choice of catching a baseball or a bowling ball both with the same ke which is safer?
catching the bowling ball will be the safest because in order for the KE to be the same the speed of the bowling ball must be less in order to even out the equations.

Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first the same speed?
a golf ball obviously...
What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.
What is the bowling ball and soccer ball thing again on newtons second law of motion?
A bowling ball and a soccer ball, dropped from the same height will hit the ground at exactly the same time.
What will hit the ground first a 1 pound steel ball or a 5 pound steel ball?
If dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.

If they are released at the same time at the same height they will hit the ground at the same time.
Will a bowling ball or golf ball hit the ground first?
In a vacuum, they will hit at the same time.
Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.

Will a 8-lb bowling ball dropped from the fifth floor drop before a 10-lb bowling ball?
Near the surface of the earth, all objects fall with the same acceleration; after any period of time spent falling, all objects are falling with the same speed, and have fallen the same distance. If there's any difference in falling behavior between two objects, it's the result of air resistance. If they fall through a region where there is no air, a feather and a battleship fall with the same acceleration. If they're dropped side by side, they stay side by side all the way down. This has been known for roughly the past 500 years. Right. The gravitational attraction is bigger, but so is the inertia in the same ratio.
Bowling ball and Apple dropped from same heigtht?
If you drop an apple from your right hand and a bowling ball from your left off the roof of the bowling alley, they will hit the parking lot at the same time.
