Why does a solid ball roll faster than a hollow sphere?

A solid ball rolls faster than a hollow sphere because it has more mass concentrated at its center, providing greater rotational inertia and stability, leading to increased speed and momentum.


Why it is possible to catch a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius?

The solid ball, will have more mass in comparison to the hollow ball of the same radius. Since, momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, the solid object will have more momentum. Therefore, the force required to stop the solid ball will be much greater than the force required to stop the hollow ball (since, the hollow ball will have less momentum because of its less mass). That's why its difficult to catch a a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius.skhatti


What difference in recoil would exppect to find in a hollow ball and a solid ball firing out of a cannon?

A solid ball would have more recoil compared to a hollow ball when fired out of a cannon. This is because the solid ball has more mass and thus more inertia, resulting in greater recoil force upon firing. The hollow ball, being lighter, would experience less recoil force due to its lower mass.


Would a solid steel ball drop faster than a solid steel ball?

Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)


Why it difficult to catch a solid ball as compare to a hollow ball of equal radius?

it is simply because momentum of a solid ball,which is more than a hollow ball as solid ball has a great mass with respect to hollow ball! By Definition of momentum:- vector P=m.v<velocity> direction of momentum is in direction of motion so momentum is greater of solid ball that's why it is hard to catch a solid ball!


Why is a ball solid?

A ball is solid because its molecules are closely packed together, creating a structure that is rigid and maintains its shape. This allows the ball to bounce, roll, and be handled without easily deforming.


Is a ping-pong ball hollow?

Yes


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.


A solid rubber with a mass of 5.9 grams sinks A hollow rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 floats Why?

Because the hollow ball is larger than the solid one. It displaces enough of the fluid to equal its weight, so it floats.


Can a ball float in water?

Depends on how much it weighs, if its hollow then maybe it would float. But doubting it would if its solid.


How do you inflate a rubber ball?

If it is a solid rubber ball it is not inflated. A hollow ball can be inflated. The more pressure inside, the "harder" the ball will be and the higher it will bounce. To much pressure and you risk rupturing the "rubber" bladder.


What happens when a hollow plastic ball and a sollid metal ball is dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force?

When a hollow plastic ball and a solid metal ball is a dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force acting on the balls the balls will fall at the same rate. Being that this is a prediction answer may vary.
