The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: When you kick a ball, it starts moving in the direction you kicked it. Initially, it has some velocity due to the force you applied. 2. **Observing the Motion**: After being kicked, the ball does not continue moving indefinitely. Instead, it gradually slows down and eventually comes to a stop. 3. **Identifying the Force**: The reason the ball slows down and stops is due to a force acting against its motion. This force opposes the direction of the ball's movement. 4. **Recognizing the Type of Force**: The force that acts to slow down or stop the ball is known as friction. Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object in contact with a surface. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the force which slows down or stops the ball kicked by you is called the **friction force**. ---
