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 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.
(c) is correct There are mainly two forces always acts on a moving body. Air resistance and friction forces. Which are responsible for slows down the speed of ball. (a) is incorrect No matter how hard batsman hit the ball, the ball will always slow down due to opposing forces. (b) is incorrect Velocity is not proportional to the applied forces, because some extra terms of air resistance and friction force comes into play during the motion of the ball. (d) is incorrect When forces balance each other ball will come to the rest. (c) is correct (c) There are mainly two forces always acts on a moving body. Air resistance and friction forces. Which are responsible for slows down the speed of ball.
