What does it mean when work is positive? O Velocity is greater than kinetic energy
O Kinetic energy is greater than velocity
The environment did work on an object.
O An object did work on the environment.

d. An object did work on the environment.

Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;

i. Work is the product of force and displacement. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.

ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment.

In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).

C) The environment did work on an object

! 55 !  

write a paragraph or story to explain the transformation between potential and kinetic energy as shown in your picture or model.  

you should have at least 5 complete sentences with a main idea and supporting details.  

you must include the following words:  

potential energy

kinetic energy

mechanical energy

conservation of energy

dude, this is hard lol : ))
