Work done by the centripetal force in the circular motion is zero negative or positive explain.
Answers
Answer:
Since, the particle always moves in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction in circular motion. Therefore, the dot product is always zero and hence, the work done by centripetal force in a circular motion is always zero.

Answer:
POSITIVE WORK: The work done on an object is said to be positive work when force and displacement are in same direction.
Example: When an object moves on horizontal surface, force and displacement acts in same direction. So, work done is positive.
NEGATIVE WORK: The work done is said to be negative work when force and displacement are in opposite direction.
Example: When an object is thrown upwards,the force of gravity is in downward direction whereas displacement acts in upward direction.
ZERO WORK: The work done is said to be zero when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other or when either force or displacement is zero.
Example: When we hold an object and walk, the force acts in downward direction whereas displacement acts in forward direction.
