Best Answer

it is because the land is flat it has large surface area which experiences a large force of friction due to air and hence slows down

How does carpet affect a rolling ball?

On carpet the friction is more as it is a rough surface therefore it stops or slow down a rolling ball.


Why does a ball rolling on the ground slow down?

Friction from the air and ground will slow down the ball's motion.


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.


How do you slow down a ball?

If u want to slow down a ball then put your foot on the ball


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.


Which force slows down a ball when it moves?

The force of friction, which is the normal force (weight) multiplied by the coefficient of friction (how rough the carpet is).


What is the velocity for a baseball ball rolling on grass?

It depends on the initial velocity, and it also depends on time, because the friction of the grass will slow the baseball down.


What kind of force will slow down a rolling baseball?

Friction


Does rolling friction occur in basketball?

Drag and friction has a curving effect on a golf ball. The ball may make a curved trajectory as it flies through the air, mostly taking the direction of the wind.


What is the name of the force that could also slow donw the ball and its motion?

Well, it depends on thedirection the ball is moving in, and the surface it is moving on/through. Commonly, it's Air Resistance that slows a moving ball in the air , when the ball is moving upwards through the air, Gravitational Force will slow it down. However, if the ball is moving downwards(towards the ground), there is practically no force acting on the ball to slow it down, so it will keep increasing speed until it bounces off the ground.When the ball moves across a surface (ex. wood, grass, tiles, carpet), it would take some amount of Friction to slow it down.


Why does a soccer ball that is quickly rolling across a grass field slows down and finally stops rolling?

It will slow down because of the force of friction on the grass field resisting its motion, as well as the force applied by the blades of grass which act like small springs.


Does friction cause a golf ball to slow down?

Yes, things such as longer grass and water on the greens will slow a ball down.
