Why do the curling stones stop?
They run out of the thrust force of being thrown so come to a stop.
Slightly melted ice refreezes & sticks to the stones to make them stop.
The friction between the ice and stones slow the stone's movement until they stop.
Magnets are embedded in the ice which attract the metal on the handles causing the stones to stop.
