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 forcr on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situatted at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middlefilngers and making the throw. If he projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed shold it be projected so that it directly hits the stationary goli without falling on the ground earlier?
