Because it is thrown on a surface that has extremely low friction (like ice, or a polished surface). The low friction means that it will slow down very slowly, and so go for a long time.

What is the equipment called for curling?

"Curling shoes," one with a slippery Teflon slider built into the sole and the other with just grippy rubber on the bottom, are used to allow players to slide smoothly down the ice during their delivery (sliding) of the curling rock. "Curling brooms" or "curling brushes" are used to "sweep" the ice in front of the rock, decreasing the friction between the rock and the ice and making the rock go both farther, and curl (curve) less if so desired. Brooms are also used by most players during their delivery for balance. Many teams will use stop watches to time a rock between certain points on the ice, to get an idea of how fast the rock is moving.

Does the curling broom make it go slower or faster?

Sweeping the ice in front of the stone polishes the pebble (bumps in the ice) and remove any frost and debris that may be in the rocks path, therefore sweeping makes the rocks go faster and also causes them to go straighter (not curl as much)
