    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.
