Question

Match the types of work done with the corresponding direction of displacement with respect to force applied.

• A. Same direction
• B. No displacement
• C. Oppposite direction

Answer 1

We know that work done by net force can be negative, zero or positive.
The work done by a body is positive when the body displaces in the direction of force applied.
Negative work is said to be done​​​​​​ when the body displaces in the oppposite direction of force applied.
However, there will be no work done if there is no displacement of the body.
