When you lift a book from the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do, negative or positive? by lifting the book what do you change? does it gain or lose energy? what kind of energy?

Work done by us is positive. This changes its location and it gains Potential energy.

Explanation:

Positive work is said when the force exerted on the object is in the same direction as that of the direction of its displacement.

Negative work is said to be done when the force exerted on the object is in the opposite direction as that of the direction of its displacement.

In this case, the force exerted on the book is in the upward direction and is in the same direction as that of its displacement. Hence, we are doing a positive work. Gravity is doing a negative work.

When we lift the book, we are changing its location from ground to the desk and in this process, the book is gaining energy. The energy gained by the object is gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed by the virtue of the object's position of location.

Hence, work done by us is positive. This changes its location and it gains Potential energy.

reserve is the answer

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
