A ball rolling on the ground slows down and finally stops because
-
Force
-
Less force applied
-
Friction
-
None of the above
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is friction. Friction is the force that opposes the motion of objects in contact with each other. In the case of a ball rolling on the ground, as it moves, there is friction between the ball and the ground. This friction gradually slows down the ball's motion until it eventually comes to a stop. Without friction, the ball would continue rolling indefinitely.
