Abstract

The total work done by the static friction force acting on a ball rolling down an incline is zero, despite the fact that work is done by the friction force to increase the rotational kinetic energy of the ball. It is shown that an equal and opposite amount of work is done by the friction force to decrease the translational kinetic energy of the ball.
