If a Bowling ball is dropped and falls 19.6 meters before it hits the ground How much time did it take the bowling ball to fall this distance?

Most Physics problems such as this assume that there is no atmosphere, and so no air resistance. The gravitational field strength on Earth is approximately 9.81Nkg-1.
Variablesa (acceleration) = 9.81 ms-2
s (displacement [distance vector]) = 19.6m
u (original velocity) = 0ms-1
v (final velocity) = unknown
t (time) = unknown
We use the formula s=ut+1/2at2 to determine the time:
- 19.6 = 0 + 4.905t2
- t2=19.6÷4.905=3.9959...
- t = 1.99898...
Therefore, it takes roughly 2 seconds for the Bowling ball to fall without air resistance.

Will a 8-lb bowling ball dropped from the fifth floor drop before a 10-lb bowling ball?
Near the surface of the earth, all objects fall with the same acceleration; after any period of time spent falling, all objects are falling with the same speed, and have fallen the same distance. If there's any difference in falling behavior between two objects, it's the result of air resistance. If they fall through a region where there is no air, a feather and a battleship fall with the same acceleration. If they're dropped side by side, they stay side by side all the way down. This has been known for roughly the past 500 years. Right. The gravitational attraction is bigger, but so is the inertia in the same ratio.

Who invented 9 pin bowling?
Bowling alley proprietors in Connecticut invented ten-pin bowling. In 1841, there was a lot of crime at the nine-pin bowling centers that were popular then, and to end the problem the Connecticut legislature banned "bowling at Nine Pins." The proprietors added a tenth pin to get around the ban. For some reason the legislature didn't go back and ban "bowling at Ten Pins."
