The force that stopped it is a resistive force. Assuming there are no external force acting on it, Friction is the cause.
When the ball is rolled, a force is applied. According to Newton's second law, F=ma, There is an acceleration, thus increase in velocity. At that same instance, when the ball moves, a natural resistive force, friction is produced. However at the next instance, there is no force pushing the ball, since friction exists when there is velocity, there will be a net force against the direction of travel. Thus generating a Deceleration. This happens till the ball comes to a stop, when it do not have any more speed. "Friction exists when there is motion" - this is a derivation from Newtons Third Law of motion. when the ball is moving it applies some force on ground so the ground also applies an equal and opposite force on the rolling ball. But since the vector component of the force on the ball that set it into motion is larger it keeps rolling till the time the Frictional force can bring it to an complete halt.

∙ 11y agoWhen a ball is rolling across the floor, there's a force of gravity pulling the ball
down towards the floor, and a reaction force pushing the ball up away from the
floor. Those two forces are equal, so they add up to zero, and that's why the ball
doesn't move up or down.
There's no force pushing the ball forward. No force is necessary to keep a moving
object moving. The force that makes it move ended when the ball left your hand.
There is a small force of friction where the ball rubs against the floor. That's the
force that's slowing the ball down, and will make it stop eventually. If there were
no friction, then the ball would never stop.

∙ 12y agoNo, there are forces of rolling and air friction decelerating it.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThat, and the fact that there is a force of friction, which slows it down. If there were NO force on such a ball, its velocity wouldn't change.

Why does a ball roll faster in grass or dirt?
a ball rolls faster in grass because grass is sorter and dirt is harder and dirty
What causes a marble to roll?
Because of the force of friction pushing against the ball. The only way it could avoid that is if it wasn't rubbing against the ground and was instead closing floating in air, like the puck in air hockey. The air blowing up on it keeps the puck and the table from rubbing against each other and causing friction. :)
What does the model of a silicon atom look like?
it is all very small balls put together going round a small ball and its all across everywhere across the world it is all very small balls put together going round a small ball and its all across everywhere across the world it is all very small balls put together going round a small ball and its all across everywhere across the world
What is the retarding force?
A force which (hampers or hinders) retards motion is a retarding force. Say for example if a ball is in motion and you sligtly touch it with a finger then it slows down before coming to a halt.So, you or to be more precise force excerted by your finger is a retarding force .
What is undulating plain?
Rolling (up and down- not flat) grassland. hillocks rather than full sized hills. many cowboy movies have them with the white ball rolling across the road
Why does a ball come to stop when it rolls across a floor?
Friction
A basketball rolling across a flat floor has energy?
A basketball rolling across a flat floor has translational and rotational kinetic energy. There's a force of gravity pulling the ball down towards the floor, and a reaction force pushing the ball up away from the floor.
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.)
The velocity time graph of a ball moving on surface of floor is shown in figure calculate the force acting on ball if mass of floor is 20gram?
a ball rolled across a horizontal table moved at cont ant velocity why?
A basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it why did this occur?
The ball rolled to a stop because the opposing force of friction stopped the ball. If the floor had been frictionless, it would have continued without stopping or even slowing.
What is an unbalanced fprce?
An unbalance force is one that is not opposed by an equal and opposite force operating directly against the force. Examples of unbalanced force are when you kick a ball, or slide furniture across the floor.
What's that big ball that rolls across an empty abandoned room called?
A wrecking ball.
When you roll a ball acrossthe floor it comes to a stop because you are no longer exerting a force on it?
No. That statement is false, mainly because it is not true. When you roll a ball across the floor, it comes to a stop because the inevitable friction where the ball contacts the floor robs it of kinetic energy. If the friction could be eliminated, the ball would not come to a stop. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.
One day at soccer practice you kick a ball hard and it rolls across the grass It eventually comes to a stop because?
the force of friction with the grass slows it down.
What happen when a ball rolling across the floor shows to stop?
When it stops it stops. Inertia will stop it from moving unless there is some force acting on it.
A ball is rolling across the top of a billiard table and slowly rolls to a stop How would Galileo explain the motion of the ball as it stopped?
The conclusion that would have been reached is that an outside forced stopped the acceleration of the ball. This would have been the force of gravity.
What A basketball rolling across a flat floor has engry?
you have to dribble the ball up and down the court because if you walk with the basketball you will be travelling.
