sure a ball needs friction to roll. the logic behind this being, that the friction which generally retards a body's motion plays differently in this case, it acts tangentially in backward direction at the point of its contact with the rolling surface, so in this way , it generates a rolling motion

What effect does friction have on a rolling ball?
If there was no friction then the ball would just slide instead of roll
What are uses of friction?
Friction is when you roll a bowling ball down an bowling alley or when you kick a soccer ball. Hope this helped
Why does a ball roll farther ondirt than grass?
because grass has more friction for ball to roll than dirt.
Why can't you roll a ball forever on a level surface?
because friction acts on the ball.
Does a ball rolling down a hill cause static friction?
Friction is one force causes a ball to roll downhill. The smaller the static friction coefficient, the more liable the ball will be to skidding instead of rolling. Static friction is involved in a ball rolling downhill.

Why do ball if you roll it will stop?
because of the friction.
Why does a ball roll when you blow on it?
The ball rolls when you blow on it because of Friction.

How do you make a ball roll slowly down a ramp?
apply friction a rough surface cardboard for example, the rougher it is the slower the ball will roll but to much friction and it will stop altogether.

because grass has more friction for ball to roll than dirt.
In the real world a rolling ball does not roll forever what stops the moiton of the ball?
Friction.

Does a ball rolling down a hill cause static friction?
Friction is one force causes a ball to roll downhill. The smaller the static friction coefficient, the more liable the ball will be to skidding instead of rolling. Static friction is involved in a ball rolling downhill.
Which statement is an obervation if the ramp is steeper then the ball will roll faster or friction slowed the ball down or gravity caused the ball's motion?
"If the ramp is steeper than the ball will roll faster" can be observed during experiments. "Friction slowed the ball down" and "Gravity caused the ball's motion" are both conjectures (guesses).
Why does a ball roll faster on a smooth surface than on artificial turf?
Less friction
If you roll a ball across the floor you put the ball in motion but after time the ball stops. Does this violate Newton's first law?
No. (Friction is a force.)
