When is the work done by a force on a body: $(a)$ positive, $(b)$ negative, and $(c)$ zero$?$
✓

Answer

Work done by a force applied on a body is:
  1. Positive work: Positive when the force acts in the direction of motion of the body.
  2. Negative work: Negative when the force acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the body.
  3. Zero work: Zero when the force acts at right angle to the direction of motion of the body.

The substance $X$ normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance $X$ is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance $Y$ which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance $X$ is heated strongly, it changes into a substance $Z$ which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
