I'm assuming you're asking about if you drop them both from the same height. They will hit the ground at almost the same time, although the Bowling ball might encounter more air resistance and land slightly (very very slightly) earlier.

The reason for this is that the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to each object's mass and inversely proportional to their distance squared. So, even though one object may have more weight due to its larger mass, it also takes more acceleration (f = ma) to get it up to the same speed. In fact, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time from the same height in a vacuum, they will indeed land at the same time.

Will a car or a bowling ball hit the ground first?
bowling ball
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
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.
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.

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.
Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first the same speed?

They will fall at the same rate, for more information Google "why was the leaning tower of Pisa built"
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.
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 a16 lb bowling ball and a 10 lb bowling ball dropped together reach the ground together?
Yes... Its not the weight but the force of gravity
When was the first cannon ball made?
The first cannon ball was made in the 3rd century BC in a place called Alexandra
Why do you double dribble your bowling ball?
when the ball(in your hand) hits the ground, then hits the lane when its released.
