A ball moving on a surface stops after travelling some distance. Does it violate the first law of motion? Explain.

The law of motion states that a body will continue in motion or in rest until an external force is applied. When a ball moving on a surface stops after travelling some distance. It does not violate the law of motion at all. Here a frictional force acts between the ball and the surface which slows down the speed of the rolling ball and the ball stops.
