if u let them go at the same time, both would hit at the same time, but if u throw them with say ur arms, the Bowling ball because it goes less distance, the bowling ball will fall after about 2 feet, but the Golf ball will sail a while WRONG In a vacuum, where there is a lack of air resistance, they should hit the ground at the same time. Based on the question, the bowling ball will hit the ground first.

A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball in the same elevation is thrown horizontally which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?

The rock will have a greater speed when it reaches the ground level compared to the ball thrown horizontally because the rock will be accelerated by gravity as it falls vertically, while the ball thrown horizontally will only have its initial horizontal velocity.


How will the speed of a ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward compare upon striking the ground?

The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.


If a rock is dropped and a ball is thrown horizontally at the same initial elevation Which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?

The thrown ball will have a greater speed when it reaches ground level because it has a horizontal component of velocity in addition to the vertical component. The rock only has a vertical component of velocity due to gravity.


True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?

False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .


If a ball is thrown in the air what Speed that a ball hits the ground?

The answer depends on how high the ball is thrown and at what angle. If the ball is thrown on Earth, Earth's gravity has objects fall at an increasing rate of 32 feet per second per second. This means that an object will go 32 feet per second faster every second it is falling down in the air. So, the higher the ball is in the air, the faster it goes as it is about to hit the ground.

What would happen if a ball was thrown and there was no gravity?

If there was no gravity, the ball would not fall back down to the ground after being thrown. It would continue in a straight line with the same speed and direction it was thrown with until it was affected by another force.

What will be different for the ball thrown on the moon compared to a ball thrown the same way on earth?

the distance it travels before falling to the ground


Which will hit the ground first a ball thrown horizontally at 2 meters per second off a building 20 m high or a ball dropped by a hand at the same height?

They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.


A volleyball is dropped from a cliff and a soccer is thrown upward from the same position when each ball reaches the ground at the bottom of the cliff the volleyball will hit the ground with greater?

The volleyball will NOT hit the ground with greater anything. Assuming that the soccer ball is the same spherical diameter and greater mass than the volleyball it will hit the ground with greater velocity and greater impact.


What will hit the ground first a 1 pound steel ball or a 5 pound steel ball?

If dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.


What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?

Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.


Can you hit a ball that hits the ground first?

a golf ball because it is has a higher weight to cross sectional area ratio. ( weight to drag ) The inverse of this is why a bean will fall faster than a feather of the same weight. Also a golf ball has divots that allow it to fly thru the air faster


If you have 3 balls on the top of a building and one is dropped. one is thrown downward. and one is thrown up and then goes downward Which has the fastest volocity when it hits the ground?

The thrown ball will (usually) have the highest velocity as the acceleration (resultant of force) used to throw it exceeds that of the other two balls. The ball thrown upward will have a higher downward velocity than the dropped ball even though their accelerations (due to gravity) are the same, as it has more time to travel downward. Although, If the ball thrown upward is thrown high enough, it may even travel faster than the ball thrown downward if the downward throw's force is not enough to beat the ball's terminal velocity (quite a bit of height would be required though).
