Problem
A 0.50kg ball is rolling on a horizontal floor with a speed of 10ms−1. Due to the opposing force of friction, the ball comes to rest after travelling 20m.
(i) Calculate the work done by the frictional force on the ball.
(ii) Hence determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the ball.
