Best Answer

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.)

Because it takes time for air resistance and friction to stop it.

A ball rolls when acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force, such as a push (a kick is a kind of push).

A rolling bowling ball is hard to stop because?

Stop the ball


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).

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.


What make a moving ball come to rest in a while even if no force is applied?

Friction with the surface it is rolling on and wind resistance against the mass of the ball. Both are forces that will eventually bring the ball to a stop.
