state the nature of work done in the following cases giving justification for each:
a) when a truck moves on the road , work done by friction.
b) work done in pushing a heavy fixed rock
c) work done by a force in lifting a heavy book from a table
(a) When a truck moves on the road, work done by friction is negative because
it acts opposite to the direction of moving truck.(b) Work done in pushing a heavy fixed rock is positive if it moves along the directionof applied force, otherwise it is zero.(c) Work done by a force in lifting a heavy book from a table is positive because theapplied force is acting upwards in which book is lifted.
