Because of the forces that act on the ball in the direction opposite

to its motion ... air resistance and friction with the floor.

Why does a ball rolled across a carpet eventually come to rest?

Friction between the carpet and the ball gradually slows down the ball's motion by converting its kinetic energy into heat. As the ball loses momentum, its speed decreases until it eventually stops moving.


Why will a ball rolling across the floor eventually slow down and stop?

The ball slows down and stops due to the force of friction acting in the opposite direction of its motion. As the ball rolls, friction between the ball and the floor converts some of its kinetic energy into heat, causing it to lose speed. Without an external force to maintain its motion, such as continual pushing, the ball will eventually come to a stop due to this frictional force.


Eli rolled a ball down the cement sidewalk as hard as he could The ball rolled for less than a minute before it came to a stop What force acted to slow and finally stop the ball?

The primary force that acted to slow and stop the ball would be kinetic friction between the ball and the cement sidewalk. This friction force opposes the motion of the ball and eventually causes it to come to a stop.


What happens to the energy of a ball when it is dropped to the floor?

The kinetic energy of the ball is converted into elastic energy through deformation (I assume we are not talking about steel balls). The elastic energy is then released, pushing the ball back up. Some energy is lost in the ball where it will cause heating, and some is probably lost to the floor, depending how elastic the floor is, so the rebound bounce won't reach the same height as the initial height, but total energy must be conserved.


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.

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.

How can you get rid of smudges on a laminate floor?

You won't believe this one...a tennis ball. Simply rub a tennis ball on the scuff and it will come right up. Put the tennis ball on an old mop stick and have a ball getting marks off the floor. Trust me..Walmart uses this one.

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.
