Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When an object slows down, the object reduces in velocity. Since Mass is constant, when velocity reduces momentum reduces. thus momentum can be what stops a rolling object.

However, a resistive force the reason for the reduction of velocity and subsequently halting.

What force will stop the ball from rolling after comes down a hill?

Friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on will eventually stop the ball from rolling after it comes down a hill. As the ball rolls, this friction converts the kinetic energy of the ball into heat, gradually slowing it down until it stops.


Why does a rolling ball stop after some time?

A rolling ball stops due to the presence of friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on. As the ball rolls, friction gradually slows down its motion by converting its kinetic energy into heat. Additionally, air resistance can also contribute to the ball's deceleration.


It is harder to stop a rolling ball then a pin pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity this is an example of?

This is an example of inertia. The rolling ball has more mass, so it has greater inertia than the ping pong ball. This means it requires more force to stop the rolling ball compared to the ping pong ball at the same velocity.


What force causes the motion to stop when a soccer ball is rolling across the grass and begins to slow down then stops?

The main force that causes the soccer ball to stop rolling is friction between the ball and the grass surface it is rolling on. As the ball moves, the grass exerts a force in the opposite direction of the ball's motion, gradually slowing it down until it comes to a stop.


Does rolling soccer ball needs more force to stop than a rolling bowling ball?

Any amount of force can stop either kind of ball. But a greater force is required to stop a bowling ball than to stop a soccer ball IN THE SAME TIME, because the bowling ball has more mass, and therefore more momentum and more kinetic energy.

A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling why does it do that?

It will not, unless it is acted upon another force. If it's rolling on something, then friction will stop it (the ball rubbing on the table slows it down).

What is rest position or equilibrium position?

Rest position or equilibrium position occurs when all the forces (gravity, the wind, friction etc) exerted on an object are equal.For example, a rolling ball is not in equilibrium because one or more forces (gravity or the force you used to initially move the ball) are greater in strength than the friction (both between the ball and the surface it is rolling on and between the ball and the air).The ball will stop rolling when the force causing it to move 'forwards' is overcome by frictional force. The ball will then be in equilibrium, or at rest.


How will you stop a rolling ball?

put your hand there to stop it.


When a ball is rolling on the floor and the fingers are used to stop it is work or force used?

Rolling the ball would be work and stopping the ball would be force.

What two forces acting on the ball as it roll?

The two forces acting on a rolling ball are the force of gravity pulling it downward and the normal force exerted by the surface it is rolling on.


Forces used in a rolling ball?

The main forces acting on a rolling ball are gravity, which pulls the ball downward, and normal force, which acts perpendicular to the surface the ball is rolling on. Additionally, there is friction force between the ball and the surface, which helps propel the ball forward or slow it down depending on the direction of motion.


A ball is rolling across the top of a billiard table and slowly rolls to a stop How would Galileo explain the motion of the ball as it stopped?

The conclusion that would have been reached is that an outside forced stopped the acceleration of the ball. This would have been the force of gravity.
