Answer:

0 (zero)

Step-by-step explanation:

W = Fd

The direction of the force of gravity is down, but the motion of the ball is along the floor, perpendicular to the force of gravity. Therefore, since the direction of the motion of the ball is not the same as the direction of the force of gravity, the work done by gravity is zero.
