Why friction doesnot roll a ball backward if there is no froce is pulling or pushing it ?

Solution

Friction opposes a horizontal force. With no applied force in the horizontal there's no friction force either.Thus ball does not roll backwards.

Q. Assertion :Pulling a lawn roller is easier than pushing it. Reason: Pushing increases the apparent weight and hence the force of friction.

We saw in Newton's laws of motion that if we apply an external unbalanced force on a ball,it will move and also will come to a stop because of gravitational pull and also frictional force. If we do the same thing in space,will the ball come to a stop?

Because,in space there is no frictional force and no gravitational pull,so will it come to stop?
