Explanation:
In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. In its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force.

Work
A baseball pitcher does positive work on the ball by applying a force to it over the distance it moves while in his grip.

For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). When the force F is constant and the angle between the force and the displacement s is θ, then the work done is given by:
{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}
Work is a scalar quantity, so it has only magnitude and no direction. Work transfers energy from one place to another, or one form to another. The SI unit of work is the joule (J), the same unit as for energy.
Answer:
B) a leaf blown from a tree by the wind
As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. ... Unlike the Sun, however, the planets don't always move in the same direction along the ecliptic. They usually move in the same direction as the Sun, but from time to time they seem to slow down, stop, and reverse direction!
Because of various events in their (unknown) past history that resulted in deviations from the theoretical orbit. That formed in the plain of the ecliptic.
Capturing a large passing comet or asteroid might do it.
Answer:
The smallest possibility is 0.01E-22kgm/s
Explanation:
Using
Momentum= h/4πx
= 6.6x 10^-34Js/ 4(3.142* 50*10-12m)
= 0.01*10^-22kgm/s
