    I think another very interesting thing to mention is that both balls reach that same height in the air once they leave the tracks despite the different velocities/paths when they were on the track. It's another way of showing they have the same energy.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому +1

      Depending on the class of bowling ball, it may either float or sink. Bowling balls are very close to 1 g/cm^3 in density. The heavier class of bowling balls are denser than water. Just about all bowling balls would float in extremely salty water like the dead sea.
      It's surprising to see this, because you might initially expect a bowling ball to be twice or three times the density of water, since it is known for being a heavy ball.

    If I am not mistaken, these "high low tracks" does not change PE or KE as evidenced at 6:32 both balls land at the exact distance away from the track. The time difference is due to the track's length and how PE was converted more into motion.

  • @johngritjohngrit140
    @johngritjohngrit140 3 роки тому

    I thought the short distance ball would win because the longer distance ball power gained in going down would be cancelled out by the distance back up again. Gravity is the overwhelming down/up power that forces the longer distance track ball to go faster. I never thought of gravity as having that kind of power. Great demonstration. Thanks.

    Probably because it's heavy so it has way more angular momentum than a basketball would. The basketball would stop spinning quite fast due to the interaction with water

    The last portion of both tracks could be the same, so we would see that given the same end speed, and the same angle of ejection, both balls follow the exact same fall trajectory. The effect would be more interesting in the 6:22 test.
    Still, these tracks are gorgeous ^^ .

    @oldfarmer9004 4 роки тому

    Interesting. It looks like there’s a slight loss of momentum due to the sharp angle changes. I bet if it was a smoother transition from one plane to the next, the ball on the curvy track might fly higher and allow the other one to catch up in mid-air. Possibly giving you simultaneously splashes. Good video
