प्रश्न
For the following scenario, state whether the work done by gravity is positive, negative, or zero.
A car in neutral gear is coming down the slope.

उत्तर
Positive work is done.
Explanation:
When a car in neutral gear is coming down the slope, the direction of displacement covered by it is parallel to the direction of force of gravity (downwards), so the work done on the car by the force of gravity is positive.
