∙ 16y agoA Golf ball sinks because it is tired of being whacked with big sticks and has decided to end it all by drowning itself.
The golf ball sinks because it is heavier than the water it displaces. If the ball were put in a fluid with a higher density than ordinary water, like molten lead, it would actually float.

∙ 12y agoBecause they are filled with air. The buoyancy factors of the rubber also help.
because thay are filled with air makeing it float.Becuse the amount of boyancy is grater than gravity.
When they are filled with air, it becomes less dense then the water. An object floats if it displaces enough water to support its weight.

∙ 14y agoTo your utter surprise, A PIN DOESN'T FLOAT ON WATER until the volume of water is more than that of the pin. If this happens, it is because the volume of water is more than that of the pin so it is difficult for the pin to break through and therefore it floats on water.

∙ 16y agoEvidently not. In fact many individuals put on Scuba gear and dive for the retrieval of golf balls within ponds located on golf courses. The balls are refinished and sold again at a reduced price.

∙ 11y agoYes, a marble is denser than water and will thus sink.

∙ 15y agoIf empty, any unpunctured kind of bucket would float. If full, or punctured, a metal bucket would sink, and a wooden one, float.

∙ 12y agoyes, gravity makes it float
As long as the density of the ball is less than the density of the liquid upon which it is floating, otherwise, it will sink.

Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Which has more momentum a golf ball or a bowling ball?
A bowling ball has more momentum. You cannot throw it as fast, but a tenpin ball weighs 16 pounds and a baseball only 1/3 pound. Momentum is mass times velocity and if you throw the bowling ball at 10 mph but the baseball at 90 mph the bowling ball still has much more momentum.
Why ball can't bounce on water?
A steel ball sinks in water because weight of water displaced by a steel ball is larger than the body of water.
Does things made of ceramic float or sink in water?
depends on what it is...and how much water...but ceramic is pretty much like the equivalent of glass when it comes to floating in water...probably more heavier though Yes and no. If you set a solid ball of ceramic in water, it will sink. If you take the same amount of ceramic and make as large a hollow ball with it as you can, and THEN set it in water, it will float. Anything floats if its weight is less than the weight of the amount of water it displaces. That's why very large ships can be made of steel.
Is tent can float in water?
There are tents designed to Float in water. But not all tents designed to float.
How do you measure density of bowling ball?
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.
When will a solid float in a liquid?
A solid will float in a liquid if its density is less than that of the liquid. This occurs when the buoyant force acting on the solid is greater than its weight, causing it to float on the liquid's surface.
Does a bowling balls float?
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
If soccer ball and a bowling ball are about the same size why does the bowling ball have more mass?
The bowling ball is denser than the soccer ball, meaning it has more mass packed into the same volume. This is due to the material and construction of the bowling ball, which is designed to weigh more for the sport it is used in.
How-to make a floating and sinking bowling ball?
To make a bowling ball float or sink, it's necessary to manipulate its density. To make it float, decrease its density by drilling holes or using materials like foam. To make it sink, increase its density by adding weight to the ball or filling it with denser materials like lead.
Does putting a bowling ball in water affect the ball?
Depending on the coverstock of the bowling ball it will. It wont really affect a plastic ball, but if you have a reactive resin (which is designed deliberately to absorb oil) it may absorb SLIGHT amounts of water as well. Depending on the temperature, it may expand or contract as well. No real DAMAGE will be done though. In fact, one method for deep cleaning your equipment is to let it soak in mildly warm soapy water for an hour or two.
How can a beach ball can float on water?
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
Which object will sink in simple water and float in salty water?
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
Why doesn't gravity act upon a bowling ball being rolled in a bowling alley?
It does act upon it. If gravity weren't acting upon the ball, it would float into the air instead of remaining on the alley floor.
Which has more mass a bowling ball or a table tennis ball?
a bowling ball
Certain types of bowling balls when places in water float Explain how this is possible?
Certain WEIGHTS of bowling balls float. Bowling balls have a volume of 6250 cm3. An equal amount of water would weigh 6.25 kilograms. A bowling ball that weighs less than 6.25 kilograms--8-pound, 10-pound and 12-pound balls--will float. 14-pound and 16-pound balls, having a density higher than 6.25 kilograms, will not float.
Will a tennis ball float or sink?
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
