The mass of any object is its attraction by gravity. If the ball is attracted by gravity, and the attraction is measured by scales, we might say that the ball has a weight of five kilograms, or a mass of five kilograms.

We can put it another way by saying that mass is the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field.

Why is a smooth rubber ball able to spin easier in water than a tennis ball?

A smooth rubber ball spins easier in water than a tennis ball due to differences in surface texture and friction. The smooth surface of the rubber ball creates less resistance against the water, allowing for smoother rotation. In contrast, the fuzzy surface of a tennis ball increases drag and turbulence, making it harder for the ball to spin efficiently in water. Additionally, the weight distribution and density of the rubber ball may also play a role in its ease of spinning compared to a tennis ball.


Why cant you throw a rubber ball far like a hard ball?

If the ball is lighter than the hard ball, then it is because a heavier ball has more force when moving at the same speed as a lighter ball. If they weigh the same, then it is because in some instances, with certain materials, a hard ball with a lot of "ping" to it will bounce further than a rubber ball, due to motive energy being converted to heat in the polymers of the rubber ball, thus decreasing the total motive energy.

If i freeze a tennis ball then it will not bounce as high?

True. Freezing would compress the gas in the ball and reduce the elasticity of the rubber in it.
