Best Answer

It acts as a rolling friction or rolling resistance when it starts to roll on a flat surface , it resists the direction of rotation of the object in both clock wise and anti clock wise direction.

How do you find the net force in each axis on a rolling ball?

Generally, only two forces act on a rolling ball. Gravity and friction (there has to be friction because without it, the ball would just slide). These are pointed directly in the x and y directions. If the ball is rolling down a slope, you can use trigonometry to find the force components.


When you throw a ball what happens can you explain what two forces act on the ball?

The two forces that act on the ball after it leaves your hand are gravity and air resistance.


What forces act on a ball when it is in the air?

The force that acts on a ball when in the air is gravity.


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.


When was On a Rolling Ball created?

On a Rolling Ball was created in 2002.


What make a moving ball come to rest in a while even if no force is applied?

Friction with the surface it is rolling on and wind resistance against the mass of the ball. Both are forces that will eventually bring the ball to a stop.


What are some forces that act on a ball when you throw it in the air?

Kinetic energy, momentum, gravity.

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.


Which can be kicked farther a rolling ball or an idle ball?

An idle ball because the reverse momentum of a rolling ball makes it harder to kick far.
