What would happen if a ball rolled over a smooth surface?

What would happen if a ball rolled over a smooth surface?

If the motion is pure rolling of a perfectly smooth ball on a perfectly flat surface, then the friction between the surface and the ball does not do any work in slowing the ball. BUT no surfaces are perfectly flat, and any roughness leads to some amount of sliding and therefore some frictional dissipation of energy.

Can rolling be possible on a smooth surface?

On a smooth surface, there won’t be any rolling. There will only be slipping as the object keeps on rotating but has no translational motion.

Why does a ball roll faster on a smooth surface?

Answer: A ball on the smooth surface rolls faster than the ball on rough surface because there is less friction in smooth surface compared to rough surface. Friction is the force that occurs opposite to the direction of motion.

Can a sphere roll on a smooth surface?

A sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined surface.

Does a ball roll on a frictionless surface?

Originally Answered: will a ball roll on a frictionless ramp? The ball will only slide on a friction less surface. The linear motion of a spinning ball and non spinning ball would be same on a friction-less surface. That means spin on the ball is immaterial.

When a ball rolls on a horizontal surface What is the effect on the speed of the ball?

If the horizontal surface is really smooth (i.e. frictionless) the speed of the ball will not change.

How can a sphere roll on smooth horizontal surface?

A sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined surface and on a smooth horizontal surface because there is no backward force (force of friction) to prevent its slipping.

Why a sphere Cannot roll on a smooth inclined surface?

For a smooth inclined surface the force due to friction is zero so a sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined plane because for a smooth inclined plane the force of friction is zero.

What do you think is the factor that causes the ball to roll slowly and roll faster?

This is because the larger ball has a greater rotational inertia (I = 0.4mr2 ) due to its larger radius. Because of its greater rotational inertia, the larger ball has a greater rotational kinetic energy 0.5 Iω2, and hence a smaller translational kinetic energy 0.5mv2.

Can a sphere roll on a smooth inclined surface explain your answer?

What will happen to a moving ball if it’s moving on a frictionless surface?

If you throw ball on a frictionless surface but within an atmospheric region then it will come to rest. This could be explained by the First Law of Newton; An object at rest will remain at rest and the object in motion will remain in motion until and unless any external force is applied.

What happens when a ball is rolled on a smooth surface?

As we know that if a ball is rolled on surface, it will keep rolling and friction will support its motion as it has a sliding tendency but since the surface is smooth, no friction will act on it and the ball will just slide on its place. THANK YOU 8 clever moves when you have $1,000 in the bank.

Why does marble roll slower than a tennis ball?

This caused the marble to slow down when the more textured surfaces created more friction. This type of friction is called rolling friction. Rolling friction is affected by the texture of both the surface and the rolling object. Had I used a tennis ball it probably would have rolled a shorter distance because of the ball’s texture.

What causes a rolling ball to stop rolling?

A rolling ball stops because the surface on which it rolls resists its motion. A rolling ball stops because of friction. Keep questioning! Thank you for the question. The answer to your question is friction. As you may know, friction is the resistance that one surface of an object encounters when another one touches it.

Why does a ball roll along the bottom of a hill?

Static friction occurs when the two surfaces that are making contact are not moving relative to each other. As the ball rolls along the bottom is actually stationary relative to the surface. If the ball was experiencing kinetic friction, it would be sliding/grinding across the other surface.
