When you roll a ball acrossthe floor it comes to a stop because you are no longer exerting a force on it?

No. That statement is false, mainly because it is not true. When you roll a ball across the floor, it comes to a stop because the inevitable friction where the ball contacts the floor robs it of kinetic energy. If the friction could be eliminated, the ball would not come to a stop. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.

Why is energy lost during bouncing?

A lot of things happen when an object bounces. Some of the objects energy, or momentum, goes into the floor which causes the surrounding floor to warm up slightly. Also, there is inefficiency that will cause the ball to eventually stop bouncing. Also, hearing the ball hit the floor means that energy went into the surrounding air molecules, causing them to heat up slightly as well as allowing you to hear the ball hit the floor. All of this causes energy to be lost in the bouncing.


Where did the gauge measurement for shotguns come from?

A pound of lead was divided into equal parts and then formed into perfect balls and the diameter of the ball would be the gauge. I.E. One pound of lead divided into twelve (12) equal parts and one was rolled into a perfect ball; the size of the ball is twelve (12) gauge.
