In a vacuum, both the Golf ball and ping pong ball would fall at the same rate due to the absence of air resistance. This is known as the principle of equivalence, as all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum regardless of their mass. However, in the presence of air resistance, the golf ball, with a greater mass and surface area, would experience more air resistance compared to the ping pong ball, causing it to fall slower.

What falls faster a golf ball or a table tennis ball?

The golf ball will land first. All objects fall at the same speed, but that's in a vacuum. The ping pong ball has a huge amount of drag (which is air resistance) for its weight, so it will be slowed enough for there to be a visible difference.AnswerThe golf ball will reach only a second or so before the ping pong ball. The chair will not be high enough for the ping pong ball to be considerably slowed due to air resistance.


Which is larger golf ball or ping pong ball?

There isn't a huge difference, but a Golf ball would be marginally bigger. Golf ball sized and ping pong size are mostly used to measure hail sizes. A golf ball is bigger but not by much. Inches. 1 1/2 Ping Pong Ball Size 1 3/4 Golf Ball Size


How much more matter is in a golf ball than a ping pong ball?

That really depends but you can get a basic idea by: 1. Stab something through a ping pong ball 2. Attempt to stab something through Golf ball Tell me which has more matter? A ping ball is basically a shell on the outside of golf ball; it has no inside, and golf ball is filled inner material.

Which will go higher when thrown up in the air golf ball or tennis ball?

In general, the golf ball will go higher than a ping pong ball would if we give both a good toss. This is because there is a lot less inertia in a table tennis ball owing to its light weight (low mass) compared to the golf ball. Air resistance (called "drag" by science types) will "suck" the energy out of a ping pong ball faster than a golf ball because there is less energy in the ping pong ball to begin with. There is a little bit more to this, but this is the basic "answer" for a school science question.


Will a golf ball or a ping pong ball go the farthest?

A golf ball will fly further than a ping pong ball. The low mass/weight of a ping pong ball makes it more susceptible to air friction. This greater drag on the ball slow it down sooner than the golf ball.


What is smaller than a softball?

Ping Pong Ball / Table Tennis Golf Ball Cricket Field Hockey Lacrosse Billiards / Pool Squash Are all smaller in diameter than a baseball


What has more matter a ping pong ball or a golf ball?

It depends what you mean by a big balloon, otherwise I would definitely go for a golf ball.


Why will a ping pong ball hit the ground after a golf ball?

Air resistance.


When someone drops a golf ball and a ping pong ball while standing in the tall building which ball will rich the ground first?

The golf ball.


Why is a golf ball heavier than a ping-pong ball even though the balls are the same size?

The interior of a ping-pong ball is filled with air, while the interior of a golf ball is made of solid material (rubbers) that are heavier (denser) than air. Thus wile about the same size a golf ball is much heavier than a ping-pong ball.


What is something small?

a ping-pong ball,a golf ball,a paperclip and much more!
