a round object rotates when there is a force acting tangentially..

in this case friction force is acting tangentially...

so it should be rolling without stopping..

but it does stop since the weight is not balanced by its normal force(i.e. normal force and weight are not acting on the same point.)

Name the unbalanced force that stops a ball rolling on the ground?

The force of friction between the ball and the ground is the unbalanced force that stops a ball from rolling. This force acts in the opposite direction of the ball's motion, causing it to slow down and eventually come to a stop.


It is harder to stop a rolling ball then a pin pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity this is an example of?

This is an example of inertia. The rolling ball has more mass, so it has greater inertia than the ping pong ball. This means it requires more force to stop the rolling ball compared to the ping pong ball at the same velocity.


What force will stop a ball from rolling?

Friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on will eventually make the ball come to a stop. This friction reduces the energy of the ball's motion by converting it into heat. Other factors like air resistance and imperfections in the surface may also play a role in stopping the ball.


What force causes the motion to stop when a soccer ball is rolling across the grass and begins to slow down then stops?

The main force that causes the soccer ball to stop rolling is friction between the ball and the grass surface it is rolling on. As the ball moves, the grass exerts a force in the opposite direction of the ball's motion, gradually slowing it down until it comes to a stop.


Does rolling soccer ball needs more force to stop than a rolling bowling ball?

Any amount of force can stop either kind of ball. But a greater force is required to stop a bowling ball than to stop a soccer ball IN THE SAME TIME, because the bowling ball has more mass, and therefore more momentum and more kinetic energy.

A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling why does it do that?

It will not, unless it is acted upon another force. If it's rolling on something, then friction will stop it (the ball rubbing on the table slows it down).

How will you stop a rolling ball?

put your hand there to stop it.


When a ball is rolling on the floor and the fingers are used to stop it is work or force used?

Rolling the ball would be work and stopping the ball would be force.

What does the word rolling stop mean?

It means when you come to a stop sign and you keep rolling slowly.


What force would stop a ball from rolling?

Friction is the force that would stop a ball from rolling. As the ball interacts with the surface it is rolling on, friction counteracts the motion by creating resistance. The type of surface and the smoothness of the ball will influence the amount of friction and, therefore, the stopping force.


What unbalanced force cause a ball to stop rolling?

Friction


Is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity Which is this an example of?

It is an example of momentum (sometimes called "inertia"). Velocity x mass. The bowling ball is much, much heavier. With both rolling at the same speed, the bowling ball is harder to stop because it has much more mass.
