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. velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.

Answer 1

We know that fire of friction acts when two bodies come in contact with each other.

Here also physical is seen between ball and the ground, means force of friction will also exist here.

Hence, we can say that ball stopped because of opposing of motion by force of friction.
