Question

1. a bowling ball has a mass of 6 kilograms. a tennis ball has a mass of 0.06 kilogram. how much inertia does the bowling ball have compared to the tennis ball?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between inertia and mass

Inertia is directly proportional to mass. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has.

Step2: Calculate the ratio of the masses

The mass of the bowling ball \(m_{1} = 6\space kg\) and the mass of the tennis ball \(m_{2}=0.06\space kg\). The ratio \(r=\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}\)
Substitute the values: \(r = \frac{6}{0.06}\)

Answer:

The bowling ball has 100 times more inertia than the tennis ball.
