a ball when slid on a horizontal surface eventually come to a stop,even through seemingly no force is a acting on it does not this contradict galileo,s statement

Open in App

Solution

There is friction acting against it from the surface,
Hence it comes to rest.
If the surface was friction less then the ball would not have stopped.
Hence law of inertia is followed.
Hope this helps :)

Q. Statement 1: When a sphere rolls on a horizontal table it slows down and eventually stops.
Statement 2: When the sphere rolls on the table, both the sphere and the surface deform near the contact. As a result, the normal force does not pass through the centre and provide an angular deceleration.
