A steel ball of mass 0.80 kg rolls down a rough slope. It begins from rest at the top, and reaches a speed of 8.7 m/s at the bottom. What is the work done by friction and the average frictional force?

the average frictional force is 7.24 N. The negative sign indicates that the force was acting in opposition to the motion of the ball.
