What kind of energy is there when a marble rolls across a flat floor?

air resistance and friction


Why does a ball travel faster through the air than rolling it on the floor?

Newton's First Law. The resistance that an object encounters by moving only through air is considerably less than what it would encounter were it on the ground. Since the resisting force is greater on the ground, the object will travel more slowly.


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 4 forces act on an object as it slides across the floor?

You should have friction between the box and the ground, the force you used to push it, the mass of the object, and gravity. The resistance of the air is neglibible. This should be all the forces on an object on flat ground.

While moving a heavy object how can you decrease the frictional force?

Use round wheels to roll the load, lighten the weight by removing attached or contained objects, or place a smoother surface betwen the object and the floor. Water or other fluids can be used to decrease the resistance, but only if they remain between the object and the floor.


How does friction help inertia?

without friction, there wouldn't really be any inertia. according to wikipedia, "Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest." For example, if you were trying to push a heavy box across the floor, the friction from the floor would prevent you from pushing it easily, and its inertia would also prevent it from moving. Basically, the friction is making it stick to the floor and not be able to move easily.
