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 ______.
Options
the batsman did not hit the ball hard enough.
velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.
there is a force on the ball opposing the motion.
there is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.

Solution
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 there is a force on the ball opposing the motion.
Explanation:
- The cricket ball comes to a halt after a short distance because a force opposes the motion.
- This force is the result of both air resistance and friction between the ball and the ground.
