What bring the rolling ball to rest?
- A. Force of friction
- B. Gravitational force
- C. Air drag
- D. Buoyant force
Step-by-step solution
A rolling ball comes to rest due to friction between the ball and the surface, which opposes its motion. Gravitational force acts vertically downward and does not directly slow horizontal motion. Air drag is present but minimal compared to friction, and buoyant force is irrelevant for a ball on a solid surface.
