Explain the followings :-
1.work done by the braking force when brakes are applied to a vehicle-negative work
2.work done by friction-negative work
Dear Student ,
we know that work always done by force. By force we can move body
and by force we can stop body .we know work done said positive if displacement
of body is in same direction as force but if force is in opposite direction to the
displacement then this work done is called negative work done
we know friction force(sliding friction) always opposite to the direction of motion of body
in case of braeking there is sliding friction. that is why work done in breaking is negative
same argument is correct for second also.
