When a forklift raises an object, is it doing positive or negative work on the object? Which type of work is the force of gravit

y doing on the object? a)The forklift is doing negative work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing positive work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. b)The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. c)The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing positive work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. d)The forklift is doing negative work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion.

Answer: B

The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. 

Explanation: The work done in lifting an object up is positive when the direction of the displacement and the force applied are in the same direction.

The work will be negative if force and direction of the motion are opposite to each other.

Also, force of gravity is considered positive when an object is moving toward the gravity. That is coming downward. Otherwise, it's negative when it's moving in the opposite direction.

When a forklift raises an object, the forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion.

If the moon were twice as far from years as it is now the following would be true
zubka84 [21]
The question is incomplete.

The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.

Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.

Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you
liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.
