The magnitude of the kinetic friction force acting on the child is 105 Newton.

Given the following data:

Mass = 25 kgHeight = 3.0 metersLength (distance) = 7.0 meters

We know that the acceleration due to gravity (g) of an object on planet Earth is equal to 9.8 m/s^2

To find the magnitude of the kinetic friction force acting on the child, we would apply the law of conservation of energy:

First of all, we would determine gravitational potential energy possessed by the child initially:

$G.P.E_i = mgh\\\\G.P.E_i = 25 \times 9.8 \times 3$

G.P.Ei = 735 Joules

At the bottom of the slide, gravitational potential energy possessed by the child would be equal to zero (0) Joules.

So, the change in energy is given by:

$\Delta E = 0 - G.P.E_i\\\\\Delta E = 0 - 735\\\\\Delta E = -735\;Joules$

The work done is the energy required to move the child from the top to the bottom of the slide.

$Work\;done = \Delta E=-735$

Since friction opposes the direction, the work done is negative:

$Workdone = -Fd\\\\-735 = -F(7)\\\\7F = 735\\\\F = \frac{735}{7}$

Kinetic friction force, F = 105 Newton
