Why a rolling ball stops after some time
isfak:
As per Newton's 1st law of motion, an object that has motion wants to keep on moving unless an external force acts on it. Here the external force refers to frictional force present between the surfaces. As a result the ball stop moving.

It is due to friction

As you may know, friction is the resistance that one surface of an object encounters when another one touches it. Think about if you were to jump on a water slide, you would be able to go a long distance because there is less friction, but if you were to do that to a carpeted floor, you probably wouldn't get very far, that is because there is a lot of friction.
When the ball rolls across the floor, the floor opposes the motion of the ball which takes away from the momentum of the ball.
