For the second question I could be wrong but I think the bowling ball has more kinetic energy because according to the equation KE= 0.5*m* x^ {2} where KE represents the kinetic energy the m is the mass and x is the speed of the object the bowling ball will have more energy.

Full Answer

Does a bowling ball have more kinetic energy?

The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because it has more mass.

Why does the bowling ball have more kinetic energy than the golf ball?

However, since the mass of the bowling ball is much larger than that of the golf ball, the bowling ball's velocity and hence its kinetic energy are much smaller than those of the golf ball.

Which ball has more kinetic energy Why?

Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. If the velocity of an object doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. Kinetic energy is proportional to the mass. If a bowling ball and a ping pong ball have the same velocity, the bowling ball has much larger kinetic energy.

Which ball would have the most kinetic energy?

The black bowling ball has the most kinetic energy because it has the most mass.

What will fall faster a bowling ball or a golf ball?

The bowling ball has a greater mass, so there's more stuff for gravity to act on. In that sense, gravity is pulling on it more. But it still doesn't fall any faster.

Do bowling balls and tennis balls fall at the same rate?

Answer. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height.

Does a ball have kinetic energy?

When you drop the ball, it gains 'kinetic' energy (the energy of motion) and loses its potential energy. When the two balls are dropped at the same time, they hit each other (collide) just after they hit the ground, and a lot of the kinetic energy in the larger ball is transferred to the smaller ball.

What are examples of potential and kinetic energy in bowling?

For example, when you are holding the bowling ball, it has potential energy. As you release the ball, most of its energy is kinetic. However, as the ball begins to slow its kinetic energy decreases. But, the total energy of the ball hasn't changed.

When a bowling ball strikes a bowling pin it starts to roll kinetic energy makes the bowling pin move?

A change occurs when the pins fall over. The bowling ball causes this change, so the bowling ball has energy. As the ball moves, it has a form of energy called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

At which point does the bowling ball have the most kinetic energy?

By conservation of the energy, the kinetic energy of the bowling ball is maximum at the bottom of the motion.

Which is the best example that something has kinetic energy?

A bicycle or skateboard in motion possesses kinetic energy. Running water has kinetic energy and it is used to run water mills. Moving air has K.E and is used to derives windmills and push sailing boats, similarly, a bullet fired from a gun has kinetic energy and can penetrate into a target because of its K.E.

Which would have the most kinetic energy quizlet?

An object has the MOST kinetic energy when it's movement is the GREATEST. When an object has the LEAST potential energy, it has the MOST kinetic energy.

In which phase of a substance do the particles have the greatest kinetic energy?

gaseous stateParticles has the highest kinetic energy when they are in the gaseous state. Kinetic energy is related to heat (also called thermal energy).

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when it speeds up?

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

Which bowling ball will fall faster?

For example, if you ask someone what would fall faster, a bowling ball or a marble, I bet a lot of folks would say the heavier bowling ball falls faster. But in fact, if dropped from a meter or so off the ground, they'd fall at the same rate. Gravity accelerates them at the same rate, so they fall at the same rate.

Which ball would hit the ground first?

So, back to the bowling ball and the feather: The reason the bowling ball reaches the ground first is because air resistance has a bigger impact on the feather as it falls. That air resistance slows the feather down while not having much of an impact at all on the bowling ball.
