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?
Sjkrupa
Near the earth's surface, a mass of 1 kilogram weighs roughly 9.8 newtons or 2.2 pounds,
even without any colorful setup.

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. [The bag of potato chips: Open or closed? Assumed closed for this answer]
Why is the mass of inflated balloon is greater than the mass of the deflated balloon?
The gas inside the inflated balloon has mass. At standard atmospheric conditions at sea level air weighs approximately one kilogram per cubic metre. A 10 passenger hot air balloon has an inflated volume of about 9000 cubic metres so the air inside the balloon weighs around nine tonnes!
Why don't all the marbles dropped from a specific height land in the same spot?
If they are dropped in a totally controlled manner then they would land in the same spot. However, if dropped by hand, there will be minor differences in the positions of the hand which will affect the outcomes.
How high was the bomb at Hiroshima dropped at?
31,600 ft
How do you use irretrievable in a sentence?
I dropped my wedding ring in the river, it was irretrievable.
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
The boncy ball rubber ball and a bowling ball are about to dropped in the height which has more gravitational potential energy?
The most massive one. That's PROBABLY the bowling ball.
Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?
Yes
What is the kinetic energy of a bowling ball when it's dropped off of the side of a building as is continues to fall freely?
increases
What is the bowling ball and soccer ball thing again on newtons second law of motion?
A bowling ball and a soccer ball, dropped from the same height will hit the ground at exactly the same time.
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.
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 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.
A tennis ball a bowling ball and a feather are dropped from the Empire State Building in New York City at the same time With respect to what you have learned about air resistance which object reac?
The bowling ball, because it's the heaviest and thus not as affected by air resistance
F a tennis ball and a bowling ball are dropped from a 5 story building which one would land first?
if we ignore wind resistance they will land at the same time.
What would land first if it was dropped from a plane a bowling ball or a tennis ball?
According to the laws of physics they would fall at the same rate and land at the same time. However, all variables are not the same. The lightness of the tennis ball would leave it more apt to be affected by winds aloft, including updrafts. Additionally, the fuzzy covering of the tennis ball would make it subject to more wind resistance than the bowling ball, thereby slowing it down more. They would still strike the ground very close together, but the bowling ball would be first.If, however, a bowling ball and a baseball were dropped from the plane, they would strike the ground more-or-less simultaneously.
Does the size of an object affect how long it takes to fall?
Nope! Galileo proved that when he dropped a bowling ball and a small ball at the same time and they both landed at the bottom at the same time, but when you're thinking about like a feather and a bowling ball, the feather has more air pockets for air to go through, so the feather falls slower.
