Explain using Newton's second law Why can you throw a golf ball further than a bowling ball even though you throw both at the same angle and with the same amount of force?

both will have same kinetic energy ,so forward velocity will be lower for bowling ball , the time to go up then down to the ground under gravity will be the same for both, so distance = velocity * time , so lighter (golf)ball will travel further because its velocity is higher second thoughts, assume launch angle same for both, ball with greater launch velocity will travel further. (laws of ballistics) if work done on ball (f * d) is same on both , the lighter ball will have greater launch velocity, though both will have same kinetic energy at launch


Would a frozen golf ball have less rebound than a boiled golf ball?

In essence yes because all of the particles have frozen and expanded making the ball brital Now when you hit the ball with a golf club the kinetic energy will be isolated a bit from the ball making it slower and have less rebound then a boiled golf ball.


When a golf ball is hit its momentum is due mostly to its what?

Its momentum is due to the amount of energy transfered from club to ball. There are a few factors in this transfer, the speed of the club head, the compression of the club face and most importantly the compression of the golf ball.


Does water ruin a golf ball?

No, water does not ruin a golf ball. However, prolonged exposure to water or submersion may affect the performance of the ball by altering its weight or balance. It is recommended to dry the ball thoroughly before use to maintain its quality and performance.


In order to increase the final momentum of a golf ball you could?

To increase the final momentum of a golf ball, you could increase the initial velocity of the ball, increase the mass of the ball, or increase the duration of time that the force is applied to the ball during impact. These factors will contribute to a higher final momentum of the ball.

Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first the same speed?

Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first from two rooms high?

If air resistance can be ignored (and it probably can from 2 rooms high) then both the bowling ball and golf ball will hit the floor at the same time. Although the bowling ball is harder to get moving than than the golf ball (it has more mass), the bowling ball also has a greater force pulling it down than the golf ball (as measured by its weight). The result is that both objects have the same acceleration.

They will fall at the same rate, for more information Google "why was the leaning tower of Pisa built"


If a golf ball and a bowling ball are rolled toward each other when they collide and the bowling ball stops how does the golf balls speed compare with the bowling balls speed?

the golf ball stopped but the bowling ball keep rolling due to their different size and weight.as we know bowling ball is bigger in size as well as weight so it will face more fictin force and stops early as compare to golf ball when they collide and at the same time bowling ball poshes the golf ball back.so the golf ball stops and the golf ball keeps rolling.


If a golf ball and a bowling ball collide and the bowling ball keeps moving How did the golf ball's speed compare with the bowling ball's speed?

The force of the bowling ball colliding with the golf ball causes the golf ball to be redirected in an elastic collision. How fast either travels depends on the friction of the surface and the angle of contact with the bowling ball.Comparative Masses and EnergyIn the collision between a golf ball and a bowling ball, the fact that the bowling ball continues to move (although possibly changed in direction) is a function of the comparative masses of the two. The bowling ball is much more massive, so at normal velocities its kinetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy of the golf ball. In order to "stop" the bowling ball, the golf ball would have to make a perfectly aimed collision, and have a much higher velocity. Quantitatively, the velocity of the golf ball would have to be the inverse ratio of the ratio of the masses of the two balls, so that the kinetic energy (mass times velocity) is equal and in the opposite direction.Example : Golf ball at 45 g, ten pound bowling ball at 4500 g -- the golf ball would have to move at 100 times the velocity of the bowling ball to counteract its kinetic energy. If the bowling ball rolls at 2 m/sec, the golf ball would have to travel at more than 200 m/sec (720 kph or 447 mph), about 3 times a ball's normal velocity off the face of a golf club.


Is the inertia of a bowling ball the same as a golf ball?

No, the inertia of a bowling ball is greater than that of a golf ball. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass, so the heavier the object, the greater its inertia. The mass of a bowling ball is much larger than that of a golf ball, resulting in greater inertia.

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


Will a golf ball hit the ground first or will a football?

In a vacuum they are both the same. In air the golf ball hasless wind resistance and will hit first


Which one would go faster with the same kinectic energy bowling ball or a golf ball?

Kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity. Therefore, an object with more mass, such as a bowling ball, would have to go slower than an object with less mass, such as a golf ball. So, if given the same amount of kinetic energy, a bowling ball will go faster than a golf ball, because it has more mass.


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.
