If the sign of work is negative,

If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.

Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.

Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.

YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.

(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)

"2.40 A pressure of 4 × 106N/m2 is applied to a body of water that initially filled a 4300 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after
wel

Answer:Final volume after pressure is applied=4,292cm3

Explanation:

Using the bulk modulus formulae

We have that The bulk modulus of waTer is given as  

K =-V dP/dV

Where  K, the bulk modulus of water = 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

2.15 x 10^9N/m^2= - 4,300 x  4 × 106N/m2 / dV

dV = - 4,300 x  4 × 10^6N/m^2/ 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

dV (change in volume)= -8.000cm^3

Final volume after pressure is applied,

V= V+ dV

V= 4300cm3 + (-8.000cm3)

=4300cm3 - 8.000cm3

Final Volume, V =4,292cm3

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, what is the direction of the force on the test charge?
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.
