A body P is on a body Q and moving with it. Comment on the nature of work done by frinction on body P and on body Q at their contact surface

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As force of friction on bodyP is in the direction of displacement and force of friction on body Q is in a direction opposite to displacement, so work done by force of friction on body P is positive, while that on the body Q is negative.
Hint - Force of friction on body P is in the direction of displacement
while force of friction on body Q is in a direction opposite to displacement
