A wrecking ball's momentum and weight provide the force needed to knock down walls, even when moving slowly. The ball's size and material composition also play a crucial role in its ability to penetrate and break through structures. By harnessing gravity and controlled movements, operators can use a wrecking ball to demolish buildings effectively at a slower pace.

Is a swinging wrecking ball an example potential energy?
Yes, a swinging wrecking ball has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. As the ball swings higher, its potential energy increases because it has the potential to do work when it falls back down.

Why doesn't the force of a bowling ball always knock down every pin?
The force of a bowling ball is not always enough to knock down every pin because the distribution of force is not evenly spread across all the pins. The angle and speed at which the ball hits the pins, as well as the weight and shape of the ball, all play a role in determining how many pins will be knocked down.
Why are bowling balls so heavy?
Bowling balls are heavy because their weight helps them maintain momentum and knock down pins effectively. The weight of the ball allows it to roll smoothly and generate enough force to hit the pins with enough power to knock them down.
What does friction have to do with a cotton ball falling down a tube?
Friction between the cotton ball and the walls of the tube can influence the speed at which the cotton ball falls. More friction means more resistance, which can slow down the cotton ball's descent. If there's less friction, the cotton ball can fall more freely and quickly through the tube.
What is a wrecking ball?
A wrecking ball is a heavy, spherical object, typically made of steel, that is used in demolition to knock down buildings and other structures. It is usually attached to a crane or a similar apparatus, allowing it to swing and generate significant force upon impact. The wrecking ball's weight and momentum make it effective for breaking through walls and ceilings. This demolition tool has been popular in construction and deconstruction projects for many years.
