Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} ball is rolling on a horizontal floor with a speed of 10 m s−110\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. Due to the opposing force of friction, the ball comes to rest after travelling 20 m20\,\text{m}. (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.
