Which force causes rocks to roll downhill?

Gravity is the force that causes rocks to roll downhill. The slope of the hill creates a gravitational potential energy that pulls the rock towards the bottom. As the rock starts rolling, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, driving the rock downward.


What forces make marbles roll?

Marbles roll due to a combination of gravitational force pulling them downward and frictional forces between the marble and the surface it is rolling on. If the surface is smooth, gravity will dominate and the marble will roll faster. If the surface is rough, friction may slow down the marble's rolling.


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.


Does a ball need friction to roll?

sure a ball needs friction to roll. the logic behind this being, that the friction which generally retards a body's motion plays differently in this case, it acts tangentially in backward direction at the point of its contact with the rolling surface, so in this way , it generates a rolling motion


What force makes a ball roll?

The force that makes a ball roll is the force of friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on. As the ball moves, friction between the ball and the ground pushes the ball forward, causing it to roll. Additionally, any initial force applied to the ball (like giving it a push) can also contribute to its rolling motion.
