Gravity and Positive vs Negative Work
Description
Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. On Earth, the force between an object and Earth is called gravity. Gravity does work on an object when it moves the object toward Earth’s center. In that case, the work done by gravity is positive.
When an external force lifts an object awa...

当一个物体被向上抛出时,重力方向与其位移方向相反。
因此,重力所做的功等于重力与位移矢量的点积。
由于这些矢量方向相反,所做的功为负值。
重力通过对物体做功,将物体的动能转化为势能。
到达最高点后,物体下落。重力作用持续存在 沿位移方向,所做的功为正值。
假设一个物体被举起,施加的力和重力都会对该物体做功。
根据功能定理,作用在物体上的净功等于物体的动能变化。
如果物体在提升前后均处于静止状态,则其动能的净变化为零。
因此,外力所做的功等于重力所做功的负值。
