Questions and Answers

What does negative work indicate in the context of classical mechanics?

  • The force is tending to speed up the object
  • The direction of the force
  • The force is balanced
  • The force is tending to slow the object down (correct)

Which of the following is an example of negative work being done?

  • Moving a heavy object upwards
  • Someone pushes you (correct)
  • Lifting a box on a table
  • Pushing a car up a hill

What is the relationship between work and change in kinetic energy according to the work-energy theorem?

  • Work and change in kinetic energy are unrelated
  • Kinetic energy affects the amount of work done
  • When work is done on an object, there will be no change in kinetic energy
  • When work is done on an object, there will be a change in kinetic energy (correct)
