Question

A batsman hits a cricket ball, which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest .The ball slows down and finally stops because:

• A. The batsman did not hit the ball hard enough
• B. Velocity is proportional to the force excreted on the ball
• C. There is a force on the ball opposing the motion
• D. There is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would come to rest

Answer 1

The correct option is C

There is a force on the ball opposing the motion

Frictional force excreted by the ground opposes the motion due which the ball comes to rest.
