A bowling ball and a bag of potato chips are dropped at the same time from a tall tower on Earth What happens?
The Bowling ball will hit the ground fist not because it has more mass but because it is less affected by wind resistance [resistance to its movement through the air] If the effect of wind resistance where [somehow] negated they would hit the ground at the same time.

What else can I help you with?
What is the force on a 1 kilogram bowling ball if dropped onto someones head from the 7th floor apartment if it is falling freely due to the pull of gravity?
Near the earth's surface, a mass of 1 kilogram weighs roughly 9.8 newtons or 2.2 pounds,even without any colorful setup.
What happens during halftime of earth?
Football games have halftime. The planet Earth does not.
Will a heavy ball fall faster than a light ball?
The ball dropped from the higher height will have a greater force before it hits the ground. This is due to the air resistance that is acting against the ball, and there would be more resistance against the ball dropped at a higher height than a lower height.
If you drop a penny and a text book at the sametime. which one will hit the ground first?
If a penny and a text book were dropped in a vacuum then they will both hit the ground at the same time. This refers to Newton's laws. If they are dropped at the same time on earth then the text book would hit the ground first.
What happens to trash that is not recycled?
It is put in a landfill site and slowly it bio-degrades into the earth

What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
How could you carry out a demonstration on Earth of a feather falling at the same rate of a bowling ball?
To demonstrate a feather falling at the same rate as a bowling ball on Earth, you can create a vacuum chamber to remove air resistance. When both the feather and the bowling ball are dropped in the vacuum, they will fall at the same rate due to the absence of air drag affecting their descent, as demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment on falling bodies.
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.
Speed of bowling ball on striking earth when dropped from 5280 feet?
Ignoring air resistance (which probably is not safe to do) it would impact at a smidge over 18 seconds from when it was released and be traveling about 580 feet per second.
What do the french call the apple of the earth?
The French call the apple of the earth "pomme de terre," which translates to "potato" in English.
How much does a bowling ball weigh on Mercury?
A 16 pound bowling ball on Earth would weight approximately 6 pounds on Mercury.
When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?
Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.
Why is the mass of a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of the bowling ball on earth different on the moon?
You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.

What is weight (in pounds) of a 7.0 kilogram bowling ball on earth surface?
The weight of a 7.0 kg bowling ball on Earth's surface would be approximately 15.43 pounds. This calculation is based on the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
