Question

When you roll a ball on the ground, it comes to rest after moving some distance. The ball comes to stop because -

• A. You did not hit the ball hard enough.
• B. There is a force on ball supporting the motion.
• C. There is a force on ball opposing the motion.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C There is a force on ball opposing the motion.

There must be a force acting between ball and ground, called friction force, that opposes the relative motion.

No matter how hard you hit, the ball will comes to rest at some time later.
