Q4. Why workdone against gravity is negative

Answer»

Consider the same body being lifted in the upward direction. In this case, the force ofgravityis acting in the downward direction. But, the displacement of the body is in the upward direction. Since the angle between the force and displacement is 180o, thework doneby thegravitationalforce on the body isnegative.
