∙ 8y agoYou need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the Bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is.
WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth.
The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg.
However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA.
Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.

∙ 8y agoA bowling ball would weigh about 38% less on Mercury compared to Earth due to Mercury's lower gravity.
On earth, 3 kg of mass weighs 29.4 newtons (6.61 pounds).
To demonstrate a feather falling at the same rate as a bowling ball on Earth, you can create a vacuum chamber to remove air resistance. When both the feather and the bowling ball are dropped in the vacuum, they will fall at the same rate due to the absence of air drag affecting their descent, as demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment on falling bodies.
To make a bowling ball float or sink, it's necessary to manipulate its density. To make it float, decrease its density by drilling holes or using materials like foam. To make it sink, increase its density by adding weight to the ball or filling it with denser materials like lead.
My bet is on the bowling ball. At 20000 ft the pull of gravity is only marginally smaller than that of the baseball bat at 2 ft above sea leval. Because both have been lifted to their respective hights giving them potential energy, I would keep out of the way of the ball.
The maximum weight a bowling ball can be is sixteen pounds.
A bowling ball would weigh about 38% less on Mercury compared to Earth due to Mercury's lower gravity.
Depends on the weight of the ball in pounds. There are 2.2 lbs in a kg.
The weight of a 7.0 kg bowling ball on Earth's surface would be approximately 15.43 pounds. This calculation is based on the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
The maximum weight of a typical Candlepin Bowling Ball is 2lb 7oz.
A 16 pound bowling ball would be 71.172 newtons in weight.
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
Weight!
16 pounds is the maximum weight of a bowling ball that can be used in sanctioned events.
weight, span and pitch must be considered in selecting a bowling ball.
If the plastic in the ball weighs 0.05 lbs, and the ball contains nothing but the plastic, then the weight of the ball is 0.05 lbs.
the golf ball stopped but the bowling ball keep rolling due to their different size and weight.as we know bowling ball is bigger in size as well as weight so it will face more fictin force and stops early as compare to golf ball when they collide and at the same time bowling ball poshes the golf ball back.so the golf ball stops and the golf ball keeps rolling.
