Question

Charles rolled a ball across the floor and noticed that it stopped before reaching the other side of the room. A force applied to the ball in the opposite direction in which it was rolling caused this to happen. What is the name of this force? A. Friction B. Gravity C. Electricity D. Magnetism

Answer 1

Friction

Explanation:

Because friction between the floor and the ball made the ball stopped from rolling.

Answer 2

Friction

Explanation:

The force that acts in opposite direction to the motion of the ball thereby causing it to stop is the force of friction.

This frictional force is a force of opposition that causes bodies moving in a particular direction to come to an halt. The force always acts in the opposite direction to the moving force acting on a body.
