Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.What can best be concluded about the object based on the work-energy theorem?

A
Work is positive, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system increases.
B
Work is positive, the object did work on the environment, and the energy of the system increases.
C
Work is negative, the object did work on the environment, and the energy of the system decreases.
D
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is moving when determining the work done on the object?

A
Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work.
B
If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done.
C
When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.
D
A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle.
