Sheer cantankerousness. Terminal lethargy. Catching it. Nailing it to your front door.

Why does the ball stop moving?

The ball stops moving due to forces such as friction and air resistance acting upon it, slowing it down until it comes to a complete stop. Additionally, external factors such as hitting a wall or surface can also cause the ball to stop moving.


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.


When throwing a ball at what point is the ball moving at the slowest speed?

The ball is moving at its slowest speed at the highest point of its trajectory when it momentarily comes to a stop before descending.


Why do different surfaces stop a moving ball faster?

Different texture


What stops a moving ball on a field?

Friction, but that is one of the reasons why it causes a moving ball to stop. Friction comes from the grass and sometimes the dirt/soil.


What force makes a soccer ball stop?

The force of friction stops the soccer ball


How do eagles hunt ball pythons?

Eagles wait for the Ball Pythons to stop moving and then swoop in and snatch them up and then eat them.


A billiard ball will stop short when it collides head-on with a ball at rest the ball cannot stop short however if the collision is not exactly head on why?

The momemtum trasnsferred is only partial, mvcos(angle). If angle is not zero, there is momentum not transfered and thus left to move the incident ball.


What can you do to make the lighter ball harder to stop than heavy ball?

To make the lighter ball harder to stop than the heavier ball, you can increase the lighter ball's velocity or decrease the heavier ball's velocity. This strategy exploits the kinetic energy of the moving objects, as the faster-moving lighter ball will have more kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated upon impact, making it harder to stop. Additionally, you can manipulate the surface material or shape of the balls to affect their friction and bounce properties, impacting how quickly they come to a stop.


Is it easy to stop a rubber ball then a wooden ball of same size moving with the same speed?

It is generally easier to stop a rubber ball moving at the same speed as a wooden ball of the same size, due to the rubber ball's elasticity and ability to deform upon impact, absorbing some of the energy. The wooden ball, being more rigid, would transfer more energy upon impact, making it more difficult to stop.


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.


Friction brings many moving objects to stop?

Yes. Think of rolling a ball in the grass. The grass is causing friction making the ball slow down and eventually stop.
