  • circuile motion and work-enegy theorem

    The friction here is the centripetal force. By Newton's Second Law: F = mv^2/r 3. when the friction is negligible, apply work-energy theorem, the work done by the force F is against the gravity, that is, the gain of the potential energy.

  • Concept of negative work done by friction.

    Now when we apply force on a body to slide it on a surface, friction will oppose the relative motion between the two surfaces and will be opposite to the direction of the displacement.
