Question

(a) Can work done by external force on an object be negative?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When work is done by external forces (nonconservative forces), the total mechanical energy of the object is altered. The work that is done can be positive work or negative work depending on whether the force doing the work is directed opposite the object's motion or in the same direction as the object's motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

can be either positive or negative

Explanation:

Work can be either positive or negative: if the force has a component in the same direction as the displacement of the object, the force is doing positive work. If the force has a component in the direction opposite to the displacement, the force does negative work.
