Tennis balls are lighter than cricket balls.

Therefore less mass. If a tennis ball travels at the same speed its momentum (mass x velocity) is lower. Therefore less momentum an easier to stop.

Short answer, less mass and same speed means less momentum

It is easier to move a ping pong ball than a Bowling ball because the ping pong ball has far less mass than the bowling ball. Since force = mass times acceleration, it will take far less force to accelerate (and thus move) the ping pong ball.

Which object requires the least amount of force to move over a 5m distance golf ball ping pong ball soccer ball bowling ball?

The ping pong ball is the least massive (lowest in weight) of all the objects, so it takes less force to move it compared to the other objects.


How much bigger is a bowling ball than a ping pong ball?

6x bigger


If a bowling ball and ping-pong ball are rolled down the highway at identical speed which ball has the greatest amount of kinetic energy?

The bowling ball because it has more mass


Why is a bowling ball bettter for knocking down pins than a ping pong ball?

The bowling ball is better for knocking down pins because it is larger and alson has a larger mass


Which exerts a gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?

A bowling ball since it has more mass. However, both the ping pong ball and the bowling ball are subjected to the same acceleration due to gravity, specifically 9.82 m s-2 and, neglecting air resistance, would fall at the same rate of speed.


It is harder to stop a rolloing bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity THis is an example of?

This is an example of momentum, which is a product of the object's mass and its velocity. It is also harder to start a bowling ball rolling than a ping-pong ball due to inertia, which is related only to the object's mass.


If you throw a ping pong ball and a golf ball with the same force which one will go the farthest Why?

a golf ball is heavier


Which of the following objects has the greatest inertia baseball bowling ball pencil or toothpick?

I think the golf ball has more inertia than ping pong ball, becuase of its weight. It is much heavy which result that it could stay at rest more, than a very lightweight ping pong ball.


How do you move a ping pong ball without touching it?

Blowing it?


It is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity. this is an example of?

It is an example of inertia.


How much more matter is in a golf ball than in a table tennis ball?

While a bowling ball is completely filled on the inside save the finger holes, a tennis ball's interior is completely hollow, and is also much smaller than a bowling ball. A bowling ball has more matter.


Would a bowling ball roll farther than a ping pong ball?

In deep space, free of other gravitational influences, theoretically, yes. All objects with mass have "gravity" -- as long as the bowling ball contains more mass, there ought to be a particular velocity at which a golf ball would orbit it.
