  • Why Does a Ball Roll Less Far on Carpet Than Wood?
    Friction

    Let me explain:

    Friction is the resistance to motion between two surfaces that are in contact. The greater the friction, the less distance an object will roll. Carpets have a higher coefficient of friction than wood floors, so a ball will not roll as far on carpet as it would on a wood floor.
