In the example of a ball being held above the ground and then dropped, what type of work is done by the gravitational force as it falls?

  • No work is done
  • Negative work
  • Positive work (correct)
  • Work cannot be determined
  • If the ball is thrown upwards, what type of work is done by the gravitational force?

  • No work is done
  • Positive work
  • Work cannot be determined
  • Negative work (correct)
  • When does a force do positive work?

  • When it has no component in the direction of the displacement
  • When it has a component opposite to the displacement at the point of application
  • When it has a component perpendicular to the displacement
