Hi Nikitha!
The force responsible is the frictional force.
When the ball is pushed, it starts moving due to the applied force. However, as it moves along the ground, a force called friction acts in the opposite direction of motion. This friction gradually reduces the ball’s speed until it finally comes to rest.
So, the correct answer is: Frictional Force.
Question : Which of the following is not an application of the third law of motion?
Option 1: A fielder pulls his hands gradually with the moving ball while holding a catch.
