-- A Baseball is less dense than a cannonball.
-- The density of an object really has nothing to do with
which one hits the ground first.
If you forget about air, then all objects fall with exactly the same speed
and acceleration ... leaves, feathers, Bowling balls and battleships.
You have to forget about air. An airplane is more dense than a blanket
but it falls slower. A blanket is less dense than a stone but it falls slower.
Those differences are all caused by air.
Many museums have a demonstration where a feather and a rock are dropped
at the same time. But they're inside a big glass tube, and all the air is pumped
out of the tube before the drop. Then the feather and the rock fall together. It's
really cool.

Is a beach ball less dense than water?
I can't see the specific ball you're dealing with. If it sinks in water, then it's more dense than water. If it floats on water, then it's less dense than water.
Is a snowball less dense than a golf ball?
The snowball is less dense since it's lighter and the golfball is more denser, but in water the snowball will melt back into it's original state.
Is a cannon ball more or less dense than a water balloon the same size?
A cannonball is typically denser than a water balloon of the same size because the material used for a cannonball, such as iron or steel, is denser than water. The density of an object is determined by its mass divided by its volume, so the denser object will have more mass in the same volume.
What happens if a ball made out of frozen kerosene is put into liquid kerosene does it float or sink?
The ball made out of frozen kerosene would likely float on the liquid kerosene since it is less dense than the liquid. When an object is less dense than a liquid, it will float on the surface.
Will a tennis ball float or sink?
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
Does the larger item always have the greater mass?
No. If the density of the item is less, the mass may be less, even if the object is larger. Cannon ball and a beach ball. Low density beach ball has far less mass than the VERY dense cannon ball, even though the beach ball is larger.
Is a beach ball less dense than water?
I can't see the specific ball you're dealing with. If it sinks in water, then it's more dense than water. If it floats on water, then it's less dense than water.
What effect does the density of a bat have on the distance that you can hit a ball?
The more dense a bat is, the more harder it is. The harder the bat the less amount of energy is absorbed so the ball will go farther. Main point: Bat more dense- farther hit Bat less dense- shorter hit

A cannon ball and a bowling ball were dropped at the same time from the top of a building At the instant before the balls hit the sidewalk the cannon ball had greater?
Momentum. Momentum is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. This is expressed as: p=mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Also, kinetic energy, as that is 1/2 m*v^2.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
What is fall ball?
In baseball, fall ball is the sport of baseball that takes place in the fall. Where I live, fall is the less dominant season, so fall ball is not as serious as spring baseball
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.
When a cannon is fired the cannon and cannon ball will have the same amount of kinetic energy?
No, the cannon will have less kinetic energy compared to the cannonball due to its smaller mass. Kinetic energy is proportional to an object's mass and velocity, so the faster and heavier cannonball will have more kinetic energy than the slower and lighter cannon.
