Not necessarily. If it's rolling in a straight line on a smooth and level floor, then

the acceleration is as good as zero.

But if the ball is rolling up a hill, or down a hill, or around the groove in a roulette wheel,

or through grass and slowing down, then there's substantial acceleration.

Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?

The small ball will have a greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane because it has less mass and experiences less inertia. This means that the force of gravity can accelerate the small ball more easily than the large ball.


What is the state of equilibrium of a rolling ball?

The state of equilibrium of a rolling ball occurs when the forces acting on it are balanced, resulting in no acceleration. In this state, the ball will continue rolling at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.


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.


When A ball rolls down a slope ramp the acceleration is?

The acceleration of a ball rolling down a slope ramp is due to gravity pulling it downwards. The acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s^2) multiplied by the sine of the angle of the slope.


What happens to the velocity of a ball that is rolling down a hill?

The velocity of a ball rolling down a hill will increase due to the acceleration caused by the pull of gravity. As the ball gains speed, its velocity will continue to increase until it reaches the bottom of the hill.

What is the speed and acceleration of a ball rolling down a hill?

The acceleration of a tennis ball rolling down an incline depends with two factors. The force that is applied to the tennis ball and the mass of the tennis ball will determine its acceleration.


Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane a large ball or a small ball?

If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.

As you increase the force applied to a rolling ball the acceleration of the ball increases This is an example of what Newton law?

This is an example of Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. This law is represented by the equation F = ma, where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

What form of energy did the table tennis ball have when it was rolling?

Rolling (motion) is an example of Kinetic Energy.


As you increase the force applied to a rolling ball the acceleration of the ball increases this is an example of what law?

This is an example of Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In this case, increasing the force applied to the ball increases its acceleration because the force causes a greater change in velocity over time.

Is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity Which is this an example of?

It is an example of momentum (sometimes called "inertia"). Velocity x mass. The bowling ball is much, much heavier. With both rolling at the same speed, the bowling ball is harder to stop because it has much more mass.
