you will explain why a baseball that is rolling eventually stops and what happens to its kinetic energy, in 3-4 sentences
do NOT plagerize
1 answer
A baseball that is rolling eventually stops due to the force of friction acting against its motion. As the baseball rolls, it interacts with the ground, causing a frictional force that opposes and eventually overcomes the initial momentum of the ball. As the ball slows down and comes to a stop, its kinetic energy is gradually converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound, through the work done by the frictional force.
