Yes. Think of block sitting on top of a bigger block. If the bottom block moves, it will drag the top block with it. Since the force of friction on the small block and its displacement are in the same direction, the "work" is positive. The static friction is a passive force, It is not a source of energy; it transmits the force placed on the bottom block. (And the "work" done by the friction on the bottom block is exactly the negative of the work done on the top block.)

It do both Positive and Negative work.
If we have to stop some object then friction does a positive work.
For Example: to stop a car , necassary friction is required between the tyres of car and road to stop a car .

Answer:

Mg- 27 means isotope with 12 protons and 15 neutrons.

Also 27 is mass number which express sum of protons and neutrons.

In nucleus one neutrn decays to electron and proton. Mass number remain same but Al-27 nucleus contain 13 protons and 14 neutrons. Electron is ejected out from nucleus.

Answer:

Hey

Yes, this is true.

As some people have it wrong, waves in the water (ocean) are not waves of moving water, rather the wave is moving through the water. A wave is a disturbance of a medium not the meduim moving.

nlexa [21]

When Sam presses the brake lever, a pair of rubber shoes clamps onto the metal inner rim of the front and back wheels. As the brake shoes rub against the wheels, friction is caused and the kinetic energy possessed by the vehicle is converted into heat which slows down the vehicle.

A person travelled in the -x direction at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s. The person's final position is -10.0 m, and the initial p

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have given the final position = -10 m on x axis

And the initial position =10 m

So total distance = 10-(-10)=20 m

The speed is given as 2.5 m/sec

We have tof ind the time required by the person to travel

Time is given by $t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{20}{2.5}=8 sec$

So the option (c) is correct option
