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

The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.

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.


What force would cause a moving soccer ball to stop?

Most commonly, the force of drag created by friction with the pitch or other surface will stop the soccer ball. A vector force exerted by a player may also stop the ball.


Why does it make more energy to stop a moving ball than the energy required to keep it moving?

The natural tendency of a moving object is to keep moving. And it doesn't really require energy to stop it; in fact, in theory, you can gain energy from it. What is required is a force.


What is the friction of cricket?

Friction stops the ball from moving infinitely. It also stops the clubs and people from moving infinitely. Without friction, all of these things would just keep sliding and sliding and sliding.
