Here's why:
* Friction: Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. In this case, the ball's surface rubs against the ground's surface. This rubbing creates a force that acts in the opposite direction of the ball's motion, slowing it down until it eventually stops.
* Types of Friction: There are two main types of friction involved here:
* Rolling friction: This occurs between the ball and the ground as the ball rolls.
* Air resistance: While less significant, the ball also experiences air resistance as it moves through the air.
