Question

A rubber ball and a wooden ball are rolled on a smooth surface which will stop earlier why

Answer 1

The wooden ball will come to rest earlier since the mass of the wooden ball is higher hence the force applied on it will be higher as well as the force of friction.

Whereas a rubber is a light material and hence will acquire only a small amount of frictional force on it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the wooden ball will stop earlier. It is because the wooden ball has a higher mass. Hence its inertia is higher. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stop or come to rest.
