Possible forces acting on the ball rolling down a slope?

[GreenTea09]

neglecting friction from the slope and air resistance,
what are the possible forces acting on the ball?

i can only think of 2:
gravitational force by the Earth on the ball.
normal force exerted by the slope on the ball.

are there any other forces else that i missed out?

Sounds like that's about it.

Of course, if the ball is rolling down the slope, there is usually friction involved. (Else it would just slide.)

In ideal conditions you are correct.

Real world: Energy transfer/inefficiencies would include mechanical to heat, sound, if hitting some rocks (sparks) light... if it's a metal ball passing over any magnets in the ground, electric.
