If the force moving an object points at least partially in the opposite direction of the objects motion, the work is considered to be negative.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of displacements caused on an object by the amount of force acting on it. The work done can be positive or negative. If the direction of force acting on an object is along the direction of motion of the object then the work done is positive.

This is because, in this case the external force is helping the object to continue its state of motion. So, if the force acting on the object is in completely opposite or partially opposite direction to the direction of motion of the object, it will stop or slow down the motion of the object.

This kind of force will have negative direction to the motion of the object and hence the work done will also be negative.

An object starts from rest at time t = 0.00 s and moves in the +x direction with constant acceleration. The object travels 14.0
Reptile [31]

Answer:

28 m/s^2

Explanation:

distance, s = 14 m

time, t = 2 - 1 = 1 s

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

14 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a\times 1^{2}

a = 28 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration is 28 m/s^2.

What current flows when a 35 v potential difference is imposed across a 1.4 kω resistor?
svetlana [45]

Current  =  (voltage) / (resistance)

              =    (35 volts) / (1,400 ohms)

              =         25 milliamperes

When catching a baseball, the ball applies a force of 39.6 N to a  catcher's glove.  If the work done on the catchers glove is 4
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

d = 1.19 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by the ball, F = 39.6 N

The work done on the catchers glove is 47.5 J

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball. We know that,

Work done, W = Fd

Where

d is the distance traveled

d=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\d=\dfrac{47.5 }{39.6 }\\\\d=1.19\ m

So, it will cover 1.19 m.

A bicyclist travels $4.5\text{ km}$ west, then travels $6.7\text{ km}$ at an angle $27.0^\circ$ South of West.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

10.88 km

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in terms of i , j  unit vectors in the direction of east and north .

4.5 km due west

D₁ = - 4.5 i

6.7 km at an angle of 27° south of west

D₂ = - 6.7 cos27 i - 6.7 sin27j

= - 6.7 x .89 i - 6.7 x .45 j

= - 5.96i - 3 j

Total displacement

= D₁ + D₂

=  - 4.5 i - 5.96i - 3 j

= -10.46 i - 3j

Magnitude = √ ( 10.46² + 3²)

= √ ( 109.41 + 9)

= √ 118.41

= 10.88 km .
