If two balls just fall off a table, none will be faster than the other.If one of the balls initially has a horizontal speed, and the other doesn't, or if one is faster in the horizontal direction than the other, then they should reach the floor at the same time.

What type of energy transforms when a ball rolling off a table top and bouncing on floor until it stops?

The potential energy of the ball (due to its position on the table) transforms into kinetic energy as it rolls off the table and falls. When the ball hits the floor, some of the kinetic energy transforms into elastic potential energy as the ball compresses and then rebounds. Finally, friction and air resistance gradually dissipate the ball's kinetic energy into thermal energy, causing it to stop.


If a ball rolls off the edge of a table two meters above the floor and with an initial velocity of 20 meters per second what is the ball?

The time it takes for the ball to hit the floor is approximately 0.64 seconds.


Suppose you roll a ball off a table top will the time to hit the ground depend on the speed?

If you are talking about the speed at which you roll the ball along the table before it falls of, it will not affect the time it takes to reach the floorAlso, if you are starting your measuring of time from when you started the roll until it hits the ground or if you are starting the measurement from when it falls of the table until it hits the ground will make a difference.If you are just measuring the time it takes from when it left the table until it hits the floor, the speed of the roll will have no effect.


What happens to the energy In a ball when it drops to the floor?

When a ball drops to the floor, the potential energy it had due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact with the floor, some of this energy is absorbed by both the ball and the floor, resulting in sound and heat energy.


What conclusion can be drawn based on the information in the table of balls'?

Based on the information in the table, it can be concluded that the red ball has the highest weight while the green ball has the lowest weight. The blue ball falls in between the red and green balls in terms of weight.

What falls faster dry tennis ball or a wet tennis ball?

Wet, because in has more weight on it. If a tennis ball is wet it can't bounce it just falls and stays on the ground.


A ball rolls off a table and falls 80 m to the floor landing with a speed of 4.5 ms What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball just before it strikes the ground?

It's 9.81m/s since vertical acceleration is always constant.


What is the kinetic energy of a ball when it is dropped from a height and it falls on a table?

it is the difference of the potential energy when the body is on the table and from the position where it is dropped.


Is it foul if cue ball jumps after hitting the object ball in 8-ball?

Depends.... Does the ball "jump" off the table and land on the floor? If so then yes. If it jumps off the table and lands back on with out falling into the pocket then no(like a jump). once the ball (any ball) hits the floor it is a foul. jumps are allowed in billards (except snooker i believe)

What falls faster a golf ball or a table tennis ball?

The golf ball will land first. All objects fall at the same speed, but that's in a vacuum. The ping pong ball has a huge amount of drag (which is air resistance) for its weight, so it will be slowed enough for there to be a visible difference.AnswerThe golf ball will reach only a second or so before the ping pong ball. The chair will not be high enough for the ping pong ball to be considerably slowed due to air resistance.


Will a ball bounce higher if it is drooed at a great distance from the floor?

All other things being constant - the faster the ball is going when it hits, the higher it will bounce. And the higher it was when it is released, the faster it will be going.
