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

(a) the batsman did not hit the ball hard enough.
(b) velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.
(c) there is a force on the ball opposing the motion.
(d) there is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.

Answer :

Option C is correct.

(there is a force on the ball opposing the motion)

When a ball is rolling on the ground an unbalanced force of friction acts on it which brings the ball to a stop after sometime.
Force of friction opposes the motion.

If there were no unbalanced force of friction and no air resistance a moving object would go on moving forever.

(c) A batsman hits a cricket ball, which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest because there is frictional force on the ball opposing its motion. Frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

Hence, this force is responsible for stopping the cricket ball.
