Water stops running downhill when it reaches a point where the slope is flat or uphill, causing the water to pool or change direction. Additionally, if the water evaporates or is absorbed into the ground, it will also stop running downhill.

Is a bicycle rolling down a hill friction?

Yes, as the bicycle rolls down the hill, there is still some friction present between the wheels and the surface of the hill. This friction helps to slow down the bicycle's descent and eventually bring it to a stop.


What stops a motion of a sled moving down a snowy hill?

friction


When you coast down a hill on a bicycle you move faster and faster. Then when you keep coasting on a level surface you eventually stop moving. What causes you to stop?

The force of air resistance and friction from the ground act against the motion of the bicycle, eventually bringing it to a stop on a level surface. The energy that was gained while coasting down the hill is gradually lost in the form of heat due to these opposing forces.


When a ball rolls down a hill and gains momentum is the law of momentum conservation violated?

No it is not! The hill is moving in the opposite direction. You do not perceive the motion of the hill since it move sooo slowly... When the ball will stop with respect to the hill (for instance because of an obstacle rigidly connected to the hill) then the hill will stop too. And the potential energy of the ball will be transformed into heat and sound.


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.

You need to replace the tap system to make soft water system to stop running when its not supposed to because it seems that it is draining constantly will not stop.


What would make your car stop running while slowing down and when going up a hill?

Likely if it is an earlier model carbureted car, the gas level in the float chamber might be too low, and when you start up the hill not enough gas is getting into the engine.
