Explanation:

Potential energy mathematically is P = m×g×h.

Where m= mass of the ball, g= acceleration. due to gravity which is constant

and h= the height which is also same.

Since, a bowling ball has more mass than a baseball, therefore, its potential energy would be higher generally.

A baseball is more likely to fall on your head because of its round shape.
