A ball rolling along any surface will be slowed by friction. Different materials used for the ball and the rolling surface will affect the distance a ball will roll but in general, the smoother and more polished the surface is, the further a ball will roll.

A down hill smooth surface is the best surface to roll a ball on.
no honey u wrong who Eva this is it roll better on the ground im smart right i no

∙ 13y agoI think that a ball will roll the fastest on a hard surface =I

What surface will ball roll fastest on?
Dirt , assuming it is flat and dry . The answer depends upon the velocity of the ball and what resistance there is in either the dirt or grass .
What surface will a ball roll fastest?
ON a slanted surface
Why would a ball roll better on one surface vs the other?
a ball would roll better on one surface vs the other because one surface may have more friction the the other surface. For example a smooth surface like a polished wooden floor would have a ball roll better than a carpet where the hairs are stopping the progression of the ball.
Does a ball need to be on a flat surface to roll?
yes
What happen when you roll a ball on a rough surface?
It wavers
Why can't you roll a ball forever on a level surface?
because friction acts on the ball.
Is the effect of grass or dirt surface on the distance a ball can roll?
Grass makes a ball roll slower then it would on a dirt surface. This is because the long grass blades cause more friction on the ball slowing it down.
It is possible to make a frictional less surface on which a ball will roll without end?
It is impossible to create a frictionless surface upon which a ball will roll without stopping. This is firstly because no two surfaces have a fritional constant of zero in that there is no surface which is perfectly smooth. Also, even if there were a true frictionless surface, a ball would not be able to roll along it forever due to air resistance.

A small ball is is put on top of a bigger ball and left to roll down the surface of the bigger ball. Where would the small ball leave the surface of the bigger ball?
it will leave the surface of the other ball roughly 1/4 of the way down to the other end.
Does the surface affect the speed of a rolling object?
Obviously it does but it depends, the more friction the surface produces the slower the ball will go. Also it depends on how you are going to roll the ball, using a ramp or by hands. But using a ramp would be better because when you use your hands to roll the ball, each time you roll it will slightly be different like the pressure. (;
How do you make a ball roll slowly down a ramp?
apply friction a rough surface cardboard for example, the rougher it is the slower the ball will roll but to much friction and it will stop altogether.
