Question
A sphere is rolled on a rough horizontal surface. It gradually slows down and stops. The force of friction tries to:
  1. Decrease the linear velocity.
  2. Increase the angular velocity.
  3. Increase the linear momentum.
  4. Decrease the angular velocity.

Answer

  1. Decrease the linear velocity.
  2. Increase the angular velocity.

Explanation:

If a sphere is rolled on a rough horizontal surface, the force of friction tries to oppose the linear motion and favours the angular motion.
