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.)
Answer:
The law of conservation of energy
Explanation:
Answer:
As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.
Explanation:
Explanation:
Substances with their density less than that of water which is 1 g/cm³ will float on it whiles those greater than that of water will sink into the water
From the question the density of the object is greater than that of water so the object will sink into the water
