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?

Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.


What devices depend on gravity to work?

Satelite, weight scale, and shower Car, running shoes, bowling ball. Lawn mower, chair, frying pan. Table cloth, playground swing, watering can.


What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion or movement. For instance if a car drives into a wall the energy of its movement is what destroys the wall, That energy is kinetic energy. Note: Heat is also a form of Kinetic energy because heat is the movement (vibration energy) of atoms or molecules.


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


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?

Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.


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.


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.
