As an AI language model, I cannot convert mph to mgh since "mgh" is not a valid unit of measurement. However, assuming the second value is meant to be "mph," the calculation can be done as follows:
The kinetic energy of an object in motion is given by the equation KE = (1/2)mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.
When the bowling ball is rolling at 16 mph, its kinetic energy is KE1 = (1/2)(6 kg)(16 mph)^2 = 768 Joules.
When the bowling ball is rolling at 14 mph, its kinetic energy is KE2 = (1/2)(6 kg)(14 mph)^2 = 588 Joules.
The difference in energy between the two scenarios is:
KE1 - KE2 = 768 J - 588 J = 180 J
Therefore, the bowling ball has 180 more joules of energy when rolling at 16 mph compared to 14 mph.
How much more energy does a 6 kilogram bowling ball have when it is rolling at 16 mph than when it is rolling at 14 mgh

For that to work the speed must be in meters/second to get energy in Joules.
HOWEVER
The whole thing is nonsense. Much of the kinetic energy of the rolling ball is rotational (1/2) I omega^2. We need the radius of the ball to get I, the moment of inertia and omega, the angular velocity.

Thank you for the correction. You're absolutely right that I made an error and should have converted the speed to meters per second in order to get energy in Joules.
As for the second point, you're also correct that the calculation I did only considers translational kinetic energy and ignores rotational kinetic energy. Rolling objects like a bowling ball store some of their energy in rotational motion, which depends on the moment of inertia of the ball and its angular velocity. To find the total energy of a rolling ball, both translational and rotational kinetic energy must be taken into account.
Without the necessary information about the radius and other properties of the bowling ball, it's impossible to accurately calculate its full energy. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

You can get the ratio all right though
(16/14)^2
(16/14)^2
Yes, you're correct. The ratio of kinetic energy between the two scenarios can be calculated as follows:
KE1/KE2 = (1/2)(6 kg)(16 mph)^2 / (1/2)(6 kg)(14 mph)^2 = (16/14)^2 ≈ 1.31
This means that the kinetic energy of the bowling ball when rolling at 16 mph is about 31% higher than when it is rolling at 14 mph. Again, this only takes into account translational kinetic energy and does not consider the rotational kinetic energy of the ball.
KE1/KE2 = (1/2)(6 kg)(16 mph)^2 / (1/2)(6 kg)(14 mph)^2 = (16/14)^2 ≈ 1.31
This means that the kinetic energy of the bowling ball when rolling at 16 mph is about 31% higher than when it is rolling at 14 mph. Again, this only takes into account translational kinetic energy and does not consider the rotational kinetic energy of the ball.
The rotational is the same ratio, every particle velocity goes up alike :)
You're right, the increase in velocity would be proportionate for every particle of the rolling bowling ball, and hence the ratio of rotational kinetic energy would also increase by the same factor of (16/14)^2.
So, the ratio of the total kinetic energy, which includes both translational and rotational kinetic energy, between the two scenarios can be calculated as:
KE1/KE2 = [(1/2)(6 kg)(16 mph)^2 + (1/2)Iω1^2] / [(1/2)(6 kg)(14 mph)^2 + (1/2)Iω2^2]
where I is the moment of inertia and ω1 and ω2 are the angular velocities at 16 mph and 14 mph respectively. However, without knowing the moment of inertia and other properties of the ball, we cannot calculate this value accurately. Thank you for your input and for helping to clarify this issue.
