A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.

Explain how momentum is conserved when a ball bounces against a floor?
The ball's momentum changes in one direction, the momentum of planet Earth in the opposite direction.
What happens when a ball rolls uphill?
its motion and accelaration are in opposite directions
What is the difference between rolling an slipping motion?
rolling motion occurs when a round surface (cylinder, wheel, ball) is rotating as it moves in a given direction across a surfaceslipping motion occurs when a round surface (cylinder, wheel, ball) is not rotating but sliding as it moves in a given direction across a surface
An example of acceleration against the direction of motion?
when Michael Jordan throw a ball while jumping backwards
Why does a ball come to stop when it is rolled across the floor?
Because of the forces that act on the ball in the direction opposite to its motion ... air resistance and friction with the floor.
What acts in the direction opposite of the objects direction in motion?
The resistance of an objects surroundings to its motion. The rugs nape versus a ball rolling across it. Air having to get out of the way of a spinning tennis ball. Resistance. Of course gravity can have a positive or negative influence on an objects motion and vector. Entropy concurs all motion.
Why does a fielder takes a catch by moving his hands in the direction of motion of cricket ball?

What does a golf ball do when either it's speed or direction changes?
The Golf ball Stops

What is random motion with an example?
One example of motion is a ball rolling down a hill. During such motion, the ball's kinetic energy is increasing and its potential energy is decreasing.

Describe the motion of a ball in a typical sport?
Since a ball is a sphere the motion it makes is rolling. The rolling happens on the ground and in the air.
Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?
The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.
Why does a cricketer take a catch a ball by moving his hands in the direction of the motion of the ball?
to reduce the impact, and make it hurt less.It has to do with the retarding force that would be exerted by the ball on the hand if the hand were to just stop it - the force would be high since the ball's motion is stopped immediately. But by moving the hand in the direction of the motion of the ball, it allows the velocity of the ball to decrease in a longer interval of time (and so, causes the retarding force to decrease). This means that the force exerted by ball on the hand is much lower, and the fielder does not get hurt.

A ball striking a wall in which the force of the ball on the wall is equal to the force of the wall on the ball. will it accelerate?
Acceleration is the change in speed or direction. When the ball strikes a wall it will likely rebound. That is a change in direction. Some of the energy of the ball went into heat and sound so, that is also a change in speed. The only wall that would have no effect on the ball's acceleration would be a wall of light or an imaginary wall.
