  • I’m not a Physicist but since they have the same momentum, the marble will have a higher velocity. Let us assume the bowling ball weighs 6000 gm and the marble weighs 20 gm (average weight), the velocity ratio of the marble to bowling ball is 300:1 (300 times faster).

    If we assume that both of them are made of the same material, and you throw the bowling ball at 1 m/s, then the marble is launched at nearly Mach 1. I’m pretty sure it will create a neat hole in the bowling ball.

    I could be very wrong as well.





  • Most of the time, the package is available on the standard package manager which makes the process extremely simple. Hardest part is knowing the package name. If you know apt search, you don’t even have to search on the browser to find the package name. But certain packages are only available as tar.gz or as source. But those are usually not encountered by newbies.

    If someone is using Nix, they generally don’t have trouble finding packages. Also, Nix has more packages compared to AUR.
