Because although weight does not have a an affect on how something falls, it does have an affect on wind resistance. So, when a leaf falls it's rather substantial and flat surface area combined with it's light weight causes air to keep it suspended for a longer time. Wind can not keep a Bowling ball suspended for very long.

What falls faster a golf ball or ping pong ball?

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.


Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?

Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.


Does a golf ball conduct energy?

No, a golf ball does not conduct electricity as it is typically made of materials that are not conductive, such as rubber or plastic. The energy in a golf ball is primarily kinetic energy from being struck by a golf club.


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.


Why does a tennis ball bounce higher than a golf ball?

A tennis ball is larger and lighter than a golf ball, allowing it to store and release more kinetic energy upon impact with the ground. This results in a higher bounce compared to a denser and heavier golf ball that absorbs more of the impact energy.
