General relativity requires a curvature of space time not just space.
Rubber sheet bowling ball and tenis ball exparment.
In the cartoon image of einstein s explanation of gravity a rubber sheet is pulled tight and a bowling ball is placed in the middle.
In that sense gravity is pulling on it more.
You can calculate this gravitational force as the product of the mass m and the gravitational field g.
Champion sports lightweight rubber bowling ball 2 1 2 pounds teal and red 1 out of 5 stars 1 1 product ratings champion sports lightweight rubber bowling ball 2 1 2 pounds teal and red.
If you can use the old rubber style how do they react on the new surfaces.
For instance we may feel that a bowling ball will fall faster than a marble yet gravity s hang on the lighter marble is similarly as solid as its hang on the heavier bowling ball and the two travel to the ground at the very same speed kajiyama.
Can you use them on the new lanes.
In the classic classroom rubber sheet demonstration the marble rolls toward the bowling ball because the earth s gravity causes it to roll down hill.
If an object like a tennis ball is then thrown onto the rubber sheet the tennis ball will gravitate towards the bowling ball.
Bouncing ball experiment 2 introduction with regard to the essential physical laws of the universe our instinct frequently plays some tricks on us.
The chart below shows the calculated density of each size bowling ball and you can see at what weight the bowling balls begin to sink their density is greater than that of water at 1 0 g cm 3.

The bowling ball has a greater mass so there s more stuff for gravity to act on.
I have my dads old rubber bowling ball conventional grip but fits me ok.
The heavier bowling ball sinks deeper and the tennis ball will move toward the bowling.
I have never like it as an analogy either.
The bowling ball has a greater mass so it also has a greater gravitational force.
Both balls used in the experiment can be seen.
The ball placed in the centre of the trampoline was a bowling ball with a mass of 7 26 kg and a radius of 10 6 cm playing the role of a central mass or a star for planets to orbit around.
But it still doesn t fall any faster.
The distortions in the rubber sheet representing the distortions in space and time.
Imagine a rubber sheet pulled taut horizontally and then tossing a bowling ball and a tennis ball onto it.
I think in his days the alleys were wood were as now they are synthetic i believe.
