A smooth and flat surface with minimal friction, such as a polished marble floor, will allow a ball to roll the fastest. The lack of friction will reduce resistance and enable the ball to maintain its speed for longer distances.
The ball with the least amount of friction will roll the farthest. This typically means a ball with a smooth and spherical surface. The surface on which the ball is rolling will also affect its distance.
When you roll a ball on a rough surface, the friction between the ball and the surface will slow it down more than if it was on a smooth surface. The rough surface causes the ball to lose some of its kinetic energy as heat due to friction, resulting in a shorter overall distance traveled compared to rolling on a smooth surface.
The distance a ball rolls on tile would depend on factors such as the initial velocity, surface friction, and angle of inclination. In general, the smoother the tile surface and the greater the initial velocity, the farther the ball will roll.
The force that makes a ball roll is the force of friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on. As the ball moves, friction between the ball and the ground pushes the ball forward, causing it to roll. Additionally, any initial force applied to the ball (like giving it a push) can also contribute to its rolling motion.

A ball rolling along any surface will be slowed by friction. Different materials used for the ball and the rolling surface will affect the distance a ball will roll but in general, the smoother and more polished the surface is, the further a ball will roll.

A solid ball with a smooth surface, such as a marble or ball bearing, will roll the fastest on a flat surface due to reduced friction. Additionally, a ball with a higher mass and smaller size is likely to roll faster because of lower air resistance.
The small ball
a ball would roll better on one surface vs the other because one surface may have more friction the the other surface. For example a smooth surface like a polished wooden floor would have a ball roll better than a carpet where the hairs are stopping the progression of the ball.
A bumpy surface
yes
When you roll a ball on a rough surface, the friction between the ball and the surface will slow it down more than if it was on a smooth surface. The rough surface causes the ball to lose some of its kinetic energy as heat due to friction, resulting in a shorter overall distance traveled compared to rolling on a smooth surface.
Yes, the surface of grass or dirt can affect the distance a ball can roll. Grass typically offers more resistance to the ball, causing it to slow down quicker compared to rolling on dirt, which can result in less distance covered. Additionally, the condition of the surface and its firmness also play a role in how far a ball can roll.
It is impossible to create a frictionless surface upon which a ball will roll without stopping. This is firstly because no two surfaces have a fritional constant of zero in that there is no surface which is perfectly smooth. Also, even if there were a true frictionless surface, a ball would not be able to roll along it forever due to air resistance.
