The golf ball. So it takes more force to move the bowling ball. And the bowling ball is also the one gravity pulls on more.Dec 20, 2010

Would a bowling ball and a baseball hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height Why or why not?

Gravity is the same for both objects, so the weight of the balls does not matter. Both of the balls will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is the same.

Which ball will hit the ground first?

The hand can no longer impart any force, as the ball has left it. As gravity is the only force in both cases, both balls will hit the ground at the same time.

Which object has more inertia a bowling ball or a golf ball?

An object with smaller inertia will require a small force to accelerate at the same rate. Whereas, an object with higher inertia requires more force to accelerate at the same rate. Since a bowling ball has more mass than a golf ball, the inertia of the bowling ball is more than a golf ball.

Do heavier objects hit the ground first?

The force due to gravitation and air resistance. In the absence of air resistance, both heavy and the lighter object will hit the ground at the same time. If the air resistance is present, the air resistance will slow down the lighter object. Therefore the heavier object will hit the ground first.

Does heavier object fall faster?

Moreover, given two objects of the same shape and material, the heavier (larger) one will fall faster because the ratio of drag force to gravitational force decreases as the size of the object increases.

When a ball is thrown vertically and another is dropped which will hit the ground first?

The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent of each other. So two objects falling under the influence of gravity from the same height will reach the ground simultaneously, regardless of their horizontal velocities.

Will 2 objects fall same speed?

As such, all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.

Which ball falls faster?

Answer 1: Heavy objects fall at the same rate (or speed) as light ones. The acceleration due to gravity is about 10 m/s2 everywhere around earth, so all objects experience the same acceleration when they fall.

Which object has more inertia a bowling ball at rest or a golf ball at rest?

The bowling ball has more mass, so it has more inertia. The bowling ball needs more force to move at the same speed as the golf ball because it has more inertia.

Which ball has the greatest inertia?

The smaller the inertia (mass) of an object, the less force is needed to accelerate it at a given rate. Since inertia is simply just a measurement of mass, the bowling ball has a higher mass, thus inertia, than the tennis ball.

How do you know which object has more inertia?

The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.
