Conservation of Energy explains why it speeds up.

It also explains why it rolls, due to the frictional force creating a torque.

How do you find the net force in each axis on a rolling ball?

Generally, only two forces act on a rolling ball. Gravity and friction (there has to be friction because without it, the ball would just slide). These are pointed directly in the x and y directions. If the ball is rolling down a slope, you can use trigonometry to find the force components.


A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling why does it do that?

It will not, unless it is acted upon another force. If it's rolling on something, then friction will stop it (the ball rubbing on the table slows it down).


With how much force does a ramp push a ball rolling down it?

A ramp exerts no force, just gravity.


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.


What is example of motion?

An example would be a ball rolling down a hill. The ball rolling down would show motion.


Describe a common situation in which the net force on an object is zero but the object is not at rest?

Bowling ball rolling down the lane.


What is good about frictional force?

friction is what slows everything down. if there was no gravity and you rolled a ball across the ground, then the ball would just keep rolling forever


What force is when a ball rolls across the floor?

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.


Is it true or false that a cannon ball rolling down a slope is considered a projectile?

Since I have read that the path of a projectile is always a parabola, I must say no. The parabolic shape of a projectile's path results from the combination of the force and direction with which it is launched and its weight.A ball rolling down a slope, is not Projectile Motion. While a cannon ball can be used to be a projectile, as far as Physics goes, that is not how it is operating at the moment (rolling down a slope).


A ball rolling down an incline has its minimum speed?

The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.


Why does a soccer ball that is quickly rolling across a grass field slows down and finally stops rolling?

It will slow down because of the force of friction on the grass field resisting its motion, as well as the force applied by the blades of grass which act like small springs.


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.
