Both the car and the Bowling ball will hit the ground at the same time, assuming they are dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is because all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass.

Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?

The car would have greater gravitational potential energy than the bowling ball due to its greater mass. Gravitational potential energy is dependent on both mass and height, so the car's higher mass would contribute to a higher gravitational potential energy compared to the bowling ball when they are both at the same height.


What is the motion parallel to the ground?

Motion parallel to the ground refers to movement that occurs in a horizontal direction. This type of motion does not involve any vertical displacement and typically occurs on a flat surface. Examples include a car driving on a road or a ball rolling on the ground.


What would happen if there were no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?

A tire has grip on it and so does a road so they can grip onto each other and the car can move. If there was no friction, then the cars wheels would spin, but the car woud not move as there is nothing for it to hold onto


What causes a ball thrown straight up in a car going 60 miles per hour to not hit the back of the car?

The ball inherits the forward speed of the car when thrown inside it. As a result, the horizontal velocity of the ball inside the car matches that of the car itself. This causes the ball to maintain its position relative to the car's interior and not hit the back of the car.


Does a ball dropped out the window of a moving car take longer to reach the ground that on dropped at the same height from a car at rest?

Both objects would strike the ground at the same moment. This is because gravity acts as an independent (unrelated to the forward movement of the car) force downwards. The force of gravity remains unchanged between both balls also.

Which would hit the ground first a car or a soccer ball?

depending how far from the ground both objects are, the ball should hit the ground first. because it doesnt matter if the car weight more his size/shape make it less aerodynamic in comparison to the ball.


How does newton's first law apply to everyday life except driving in a car?

i would think that if you roll a bowling ball, it would represent the first law because it is is a constant motion until the bowling pins are a force that changes the motion.


Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?

The car would have greater gravitational potential energy than the bowling ball due to its greater mass. Gravitational potential energy is dependent on both mass and height, so the car's higher mass would contribute to a higher gravitational potential energy compared to the bowling ball when they are both at the same height.


What are sources of friction?

Driving a car down the street is a source of friction. Rolling a bowling ball down the lane is also an example of friction.


What is in bowling ball cleaners?

Bowling ball cleaners typically contain a cleaning solution that helps remove oil, dirt, and grime from the surface of the ball. Some cleaners may also contain alcohol or other solvents to aid in the cleaning process. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a bowling ball cleaner to avoid damaging the ball.


You hit a bowling ball that was obviously left there for someone to hit - should you have to pay for the damages to your car or should the county where you hit the bowling ball?

If you were operating with due care and caution and paying full time and attention to your driving you would have/should have been able to avoid it. You, or your insurance company is going to have to pay for the repairs.


Can you wheel tilt inwards because of bad ball bearings?

Yes. If the wheel is off the ground a little movement is normal. If the car is on the ground, don't drive the car until it's fixed


How to describe the motion of a ball dropped from a moving car?

The ball would continue moving in the same direction and roughly the same speed as the car before hitting the ground (ignoring air resistance). Think of what happens when a car stops short and you go flying forward into the seat in front of you. That's what's happening to the ball; it's momentum keeps it from falling straight down. Just add gravity to pull the ball towards the ground.


Do you connect the ground cable first on a car with a positive ground system when installing a battery?

No, the ground cable gets always disconnected first and connected last, regardless of ground polarity.
