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 .

Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the left of the decimal point
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Zeros to the left of a decimal can be insignificant place holders, such as in 0.043 (two significant figures).

They can be significant if they are between two digits who themselves are significant, such as in 101.000 (three significant figures).

In the case of a number like 1,000 we can see there is only one significant figure. The zero digits are not between sigfigs.

What is the weight of an object (mass = 60 kilograms) on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.75 meters/second2?. Se
UNO [17]
The weight (W) of an object is the product of its mass (m) and the acceleration (a). That is,
                                    W = m x a
Substituting the known values give,
                                W = (60 kg) x (3.75 m/s²) = 225 N
Thus, the object's weight is 225 N. The answer is letter D.
