Question

A batsman hits a cricket ball which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest. The ball slows to a stop because (a) the batsman did not hit the ball hard enough. (b) velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball. (c) there is a force on the ball opposing the motion. (d) there is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.

(c)

1. A batsman hits a cricket ball, which then rolls on a level ground.
2. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest because there is frictional force on the ball opposing its motion.
3. Frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.
4. Hence, this force is responsible for stopping the cricket ball.

Answer 2

A batsman hits a cricket ball, which then rolls on a level ground.

After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest because there is frictional force on the ball opposing its motion.

Frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

Hence, this force is responsible for stopping the cricket ball.
