A ball rolls faster on grass than on dirt because grass is softer than dift. Dirt is harder and dirty. Another view:
A ball rolls faster on a groomed green than it does on beach sand or freshly turned garden soil because the green is firmer than the other surfaces, not because it is softer. The green absorbs less of the energy imparted to the ball when it is set in motion. A ball wouldn't do well in wild grasses, or even on an ordinary slightly untended lawn.
it can roll faster than dirt because grass has soil in the grass.don't ,listen to the top because they are the dome one on earth . i even check it out so oh . if u have a gmail just send me stuff and i will ask u any qeustion please have one now or ur dead

"A ball rolls faster on a groomed green than it does on beach sand or freshly turned garden soil because the green is firmer than the other surfaces, not because it is softer." Yes, but not all beaches are created equal. Daytona Beach, for example, has very fine grains of sand that settle very flatly and firmly as the tide goes out, leaving a packed surface that even a car tire does not much disturb. This surface rolls FASTER than Augusta National on a Sunday at the Masters, and it rolls more "true" also. Daytona Beach is closer to the felt surface of a pool table than is Augusta National -- firm and smooth.

∙ 9y agoBecause the surface of the sidewalk is smoother than the surface of the grass and therefore there is less friction on the sidewalk which makes it easier for the ball to roll, and because its easier to roll a ball on the sidewalk it will get faster. The grass also has GRASS on it and that slows down the movement of the ball.

∙ 8y agoThe grass causes friction that slows down the ball. There is less friction from a floor, so the ball rolls faster and for longer.

Does a ball roll better on grass than dirt?
Yes a ball roll is better on grass than dirt
Does a ball roll farther on carpet or grass?
depends on the ball, big ball, small ball? Big ball would roll easier on carpet and grass, small ball would roll easily on carpet.
Why does a ball roll farther ondirt than grass?
because grass has more friction for ball to roll than dirt.
What surface will ball roll fastest on?
Dirt , assuming it is flat and dry . The answer depends upon the velocity of the ball and what resistance there is in either the dirt or grass .
When you roll a tennis ball on grass what forces act on the tennis ball?
You get frictional force. That is because when the tennis ball furr and the grass rubs together you et friction.
Why does a ball roll faster in grass or dirt?
a ball rolls faster in grass because grass is sorter and dirt is harder and dirty

Does a ball roll farther on grass or dirt?
My answer is dirt I'd say dirt because the dirt is more flat than the dirt.Also,the grass has the leaves poped out so the ball will be faster on dirt......

Is the effect of grass or dirt surface on the distance a ball can roll?
Grass makes a ball roll slower then it would on a dirt surface. This is because the long grass blades cause more friction on the ball slowing it down.
Does a ball roll father on grass or dirt or carpet?
A ball can go further on grass than dirt because in dirt there are some rocks that can stop the ball.
Does a ball roll faster on cement or grass?
Cement because the surface tends to be flatter than grass. In grass, the blades hitting the ball cause it to start losing speed, as the ball now needs more energy to go over or push past the grass compared to the cement, where there is nothing there to stop it from moving forward except the air.
