Kick a tennis ball and a bowling ball with the same amount of force the heavy bowling ball is going to move slower and go a shorter distance than the tennis ball a heavier object requires more force to set it in motion.
Rubber sheet bowling ball and tennis ball experiment.
Bouncing ball experiment 3 the experiment will investigate the bounce efficiency of a tennis ball when dropped from different heights.
The bowling ball has a greater mass so it also has a greater gravitational force.
It would follow a curved path.
A used ball is generally softer than a new ball since ball stiffness depends on the wall thickness and the amount of air inside the ball.
Students can use the associated activities to explore these concepts by bouncing assorted balls on different surfaces and calculating the.
General relativity requires a curvature of space time not just space.
If the cloth cover wears down to say 2 mm thickness the ball will become softer.

Imagine a perfectly flat big rubber sheet that has a bowling ball in the center of it so it creates a slope.
I have never like it as an analogy either.
At the drop height the tennis ball has gravitational potential energy which is then changed into kinetic energy as it tumbles to the ground kajiyama 2019.
This is nothing at all like the way general relativity works.
After it has been dropped the tennis ball bounces back somewhat according to its unique drop height.
You can calculate this gravitational force as the product of the mass m and the gravitational field g.
Newton s third law of motion for every action there is a reaction that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
In that sense gravity is pulling on it more.
But it still doesn t fall any faster.
The rubber is about 3 mm thick and the cover is also about 3 mm thick.
Synplay ss00180 rubber heavy weight tennis cricket ball standard fluorescent 3.
Describe the path of a golf ball when it just reaches the inside edge of the dip.
The bowling ball has a greater mass so there s more stuff for gravity to act on.
