What would happen if there were no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?

A tire has grip on it and so does a road so they can grip onto each other and the car can move. If there was no friction, then the cars wheels would spin, but the car woud not move as there is nothing for it to hold onto

What are two examples of friction?
Say you are driving a car or riding a motorcycle and you just remove you foot or hand from the accelerator. What will happen? After some time depending on your velocity, the vehicle will stop. Why? Consider your entire vehicle an ideal system meaning that no part provides any sort of friction. Now consider road, road is rough and will definitely provide friction. Since your vehicle's tires are rolling against the road, the road will provide friction in the direction opposite to that of your vehicle's motion. In real situations, both tire and road will contribute to the rolling friction.
What would happen if there was no friction between your feet and the ground?
You would start sliding forever or trip in an instant and would not be able to stand up and walk properly without holding onto an object. Because friction is what keeps your feet remain still on the ground.
Cart is rolling down a special ramp where there is no friction at all What will happen if the amount of mass on the cart is increased?
The cart will move at a constant velocity.

What will happen you roll a ball on a surface that has very little friction?
The ball will travel in a straight line path.
What would happen if there was no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?
no
What would happen if there was no friction when a tire was rolling on the ground?
It would keep rolling.

If two masses fell 3 meters to the ground. what will happen if friction is negleted when they reach the ground?
They would hit the ground at the same time.
Do you have to overcome rolling friction when you slide a bag of groceries across the countertop?
If the bag is sliding across the countertop (i.e., the same surface of the bag is always in contact with the counter), then no. Rolling friction is only relevant when the surface of an object in contact with the surface it moves across always changes.

What transformotion of energy happen in a rolling toy?
Kinetic energy is used to overcome friction and is dispersed as heat; some energy is converted to sound.
Can friction can increase speed?
Sure. When I am running, I need to have good friction between my running shoes and the ground that I am running on, in order to be able to run quickly. A car needs a good level of friction between the tires and the road to drive at a high speed. Otherwise the wheels just spin but the car doesn't move (this can happen when you are stuck in the ice).

The ball will travel in a straight line path.
