    You also have to consider air resistance, that should reduce the energy of the bowling ball when hitting you, making it easier to stop

      Friction would be way more of a determining factor than air resistance, assuming they’re traveling along the ground.

      Air resistance will affect the marble more since it’s traveling faster. I also feel like either mass (or more likely, density) of the object matters, which would advantage the bowling ball in this aspect too.

      Where are the physics nerds at, we need answers!

        The bowling ball also has more mass compared to the surface area than the marble because maths, so air resistance would be very little for the bowling ball compared to the marble
