How do you determine a work done is positive sign or negative sign?

If work is done on the system then it has a negative sign. If work is done by the system then it has a positive sign.


Is a negative a positive is what?

A Negative plus a positive = a negative because negative and a positive cannot work together Negative + Negative= Positive Positive + Positive = Positive when your dealing with numbers such as : -2 + 2 would equal a negative 4 -2 +-2 would equal a positive 4


Does gravity do positive or negative work on falling objectexplain?

It does positive work. There's 2 ways to look at this: 1) This one's a chemistry way. When work is done on a system by the surroundings, the work is positive. When the system itself is doing work on the surroundings, this is negative work. Just think of it in terms of the system. It gains energy when something does work to it and loses energy when it works on something else. Based on this, do you think it's positive or negative work? 2) This one's a physics way. W = Fd cos (theta). In this equation, W = work, F = a force, d = displacement, and theta = angle between the force and the displacement. So, let's take the example of a falling object. As it falls, the force of gravity is exerting a force towards the ground. The object is moving towards the ground also. Since both the directions are the same, theta is 0 and work is + (cos of angle 0 is +1). When the object is moving upward while gravity is acting on it, exerting a downward force, the angle between them is 180 degrees. At 180 degrees, cos is -1. Work done by gravity is negative in this case. Either ways, positive work is being done by gravity on the falling object.

Is the work done by the system is considered as positive or on the system is considered as positive?

In thermodynamics, work done by the system is considered positive. Work done on the system is considered negative.


Is the work done on a system positive or negative?

The work done on a system is positive when energy is added to the system, and negative when energy is removed from the system.


When do you say that the work done is positive or negative?

Work done is considered positive when the force applied and the displacement of the object are in the same direction, causing movement in that direction. On the other hand, work done is considered negative when the force applied and the displacement are in opposite directions, resulting in work being done against the direction of the force.


Is the work done by friction always negative?

No, the work done by friction can be either positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force and the displacement of the object.


What is the work done by the system according to the sign convention?

The work done by the system is positive if the system does work on its surroundings, and negative if work is done on the system by the surroundings.


When work is positive and when is negative?

What is the difference between negative work and zero work and positive work done?

If the angle between the displacement and force applied is less than a right angle, then it is Positive Work done. If the angle between the displacement and the force applied is greater than a right angle then it is Negative Work done. If the displacement and force are at right angles, or either is zero, then it is Zero Work done.


Can work positive or Negative in physics how?

Yes Work can be positive or Negative.


Does the work-kinetic energy theorem hold for both positive and negative work?

Yes, the work-kinetic energy theorem holds for both positive and negative work. Positive work increases the kinetic energy of an object, while negative work decreases it. The theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
