The ball will travel in a straight line path.

It could start to slide instead of rolling, of course.

Why can't you roll a ball forever on a level surface?
because friction acts on the ball.
What causes a ball rolling on the grown to eventually come to rest?
Friction - between the surface of the ball, and the ground.
Why does a ball roll faster on a smooth surface than on artificial turf?
Less friction
How does finction cause a ball to slow down?
It does because when the ball hits the surface and the surface magnified would look rugged anyways when the ball hits the surface the friction pulls on the ball causind it to slow down and if you roll a brick down a hill you will find it will stop easier than a ball smooth surface
What happen when you roll a ball on a rough surface?
It wavers
Why can't you roll a ball forever on a level surface?
because friction acts on the ball.
How do ball bearings reduce friction in machinery?
Ball bearings reduce friction in machinery by presenting a minimal surface area. This is because only very small areas of each ball are in contact with the surface. Therefore,the ball bearing is indeed a very useful thing for machinery to work.
What would happen if there was no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?
no
Why does a ice-hockey puck have less friction than a ball rolling on the ground?
Ice has a much smoother surface than the surface of the ground, therefore there is less friction acting on the hockey puck compared to a ball rolling on the ground. Ice is nearly a frictionless surface.
What causes a ball rolling on the grown to eventually come to rest?
Friction - between the surface of the ball, and the ground.
How do you make a ball roll slowly down a ramp?
apply friction a rough surface cardboard for example, the rougher it is the slower the ball will roll but to much friction and it will stop altogether.
Why does a ball roll faster on a smooth surface than on artificial turf?
Less friction
How will increasing the diameter of the tennis ball slow a ball in the air?
the more surface area, the more friction, the more the drag
How does the fuzziness of tennis ball affect the friction of the tennis ball?
The fuzziness of the ball gets grip from the surface and the felt rubs the surface of the court and thus causes friction. The denser the felt, the more friction and grip. The fuzz helps improve the friction, which makes spin more important in a match. It makes the ball slower, and in turn the rallies will be slower. This is why in most ATP tennis tournaments, the balls are changed every seven to nine games.
Is friction acting on a body which is in pure rolling?
yes there is still alittle friction on a ball that is in pure rolling because there is still interaction between the atoms that contact the surface of the ball and the floor
