If Two Objects have the same volume does this mean that both objects must have the same mass Explain?

Just because two ojects occupy the same volume does not mean that they have the same mass. For example: If I have two boxes of the same dimension (volume) and fill one with hammers and the second with feathers. are they the same mass? Of course not. another way of looking at the problem at hand would be to take a tone of hammers and a tone of feathers. which one occupies the most space? the feathers of course. so to have the same mass as the hammers, the feathers need to occupy more volume.


Is the mass of 1 liter of feathers greater than the mass of 1 liter of nails?

The mass of 1 liter of feathers is less than the mass of 1 liter of nails. This is because feathers are less dense than nails, meaning they have less mass per unit volume. The mass of an object is directly proportional to its density and volume, so even though both 1 liter of feathers and 1 liter of nails occupy the same volume, the nails will have a greater mass due to their higher density.


Why is it harder to overcome the inertia of a bowling ball than a baseball?

The only real way to answer this is to define the terms, then it should make sense. Mass - How much of something there is, and what its made of. A rock and a spunge may be the same size, but the rock has more mass. Gravity - The force of attraction between any two objects. Usually the Earth, and somthing else. Based on the masses of the two objects. Weight - The amount of force due to gravity. A rock on earth will weigh less on mars because the mass of mars is less than the mass of earth. This is also why you don't feel 'weight' between you and your cup of coffee. The masses of the two objects is much too small to be felt. This is the same thing as 'heavy,' just a different word. Inertia - Refers to how much energy you need to get an object moving. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. This is totally independent from gravity or weight. With those definitions, you should be able to figure it out. Bowling balls are heavier because they have more mass, and they are heavy because of gravity. Also, bowling balls have more inertia, because they have more mass.


Why does a heavy and a light object hit the ground at the same time?

Heavy objects fall with the same acceleration as light objects, and reach the same speedafter falling for the same length of time. If there's any difference noted, it's the result ofair resistance, and the difference doesn't show up when there is no air. The reason isbecause that's how gravity works. If it seems to you that it should not work this way,then by all means, please explain why not.Seems to us that when someone wishes some aspect of creation were different, the burdenshould be his to explain why it should be different, and not the job of anyone else to justifywhy it is as it is.


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.

Which would be greaterthe gravitational force between two feathers or two bowling balls assuming the distance between them is equal?

The gravitational force between two bowling balls would be greater than the gravitational force between two feathers, assuming the distance between them is the same. This is because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects involved, and bowling balls have much greater mass than feathers.


What is heavier a ton of feathers or a ton f bowling balls?

They equal the same


The mass of one ton of bowling balls is equal to the mass of one ton of feathers.?

yes. If you carefully look at the question, you will note that the weight of the objects in question is irrelevant. The questions refers to the weight of one ton. If you took a balance and put one ton on one side and one ton on the other, the balance would level itself because both sides are equal. There fore ONE TON of bowling balls = ONE TON of feathers. The number of each would not be equal, but the weight is the same.


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?

The bowling ball has more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the two balls are moving at the same speed, the greater mass of the bowling ball results in it having more momentum.


Which of the 1 molar solution have highest number of density?

Trick question. They are all the same. One mole is a unit of measurement. A mole of feathers and a mole of bowling balls will be the same amount: one mole.


If soccer ball and a bowling ball are about the same size why does the bowling ball have more mass?

A soccer ball is hollow and filled with air, which has little density. A bowling ball is solid material of a much greater density. * Because bowling balls have a standard size, about 21.8 cm in diameter, bowling balls weighing less than 5.4 kg (12 lb) will float in water.


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


Would two bowling balls hit the ground at the same time on the moon?

Yes, two bowling balls would hit the ground at the same time on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects, regardless of mass. The moon's weaker gravity would cause the balls to fall more slowly than on Earth, but they would still hit the ground simultaneously if released at the same height and time.


Which will require a greater force to move bowling ball or a baseball?

A bowling ball. An official NBA basketball weighs 22 ounces, which is less than two pounds. The bowling balls little kids play with weigh 6 to 8 pounds, and adults play with balls weighing from 12 to 16 pounds.


If you roll a bowling ball and a tennis ball with the same amount of force which will go further?

The experimental setup I envision is as follows: you get a sheet of melamine, stick it in the middle of the school gym, set one end on a sawhorse to create the slope, put the two balls at the top of the slope, let go of them at the same time and measure to see which one goes farther once it gets out onto the gym floor. Right? Because of the weights of the two balls, the bowling ball will travel farther. It can store more energy from gravity.


Which has more inertia a bowling ball or beach ball?

Most likely the bowling ball. According to the laws of physics, an object with more inertia accelerates slower but is harder to stop. The bowling ball accelerates slowly but has a high mass. The beach ball accelerates quickly but has a low mass. So the bowling ball has more inertia.


How can you make a bowling ball and soccer ball have the same gravitational potential energy?

You can make the bowling ball and soccer ball have the same gravitational potential energy by lifting them to the same height above the ground. Gravitational potential energy depends on the mass of the object and the height it is lifted, so as long as both balls are lifted to the same height, they will have the same gravitational potential energy.
