The correct Answer is:
To determine the angle between the force and displacement when negative work is done, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Work Done**: The work done (W) by a force is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d = |F| |d| \cos \theta \] where \(F\) is the force, \(d\) is the displacement, and \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the displacement vectors. 2. **Identifying Negative Work**: For work to be negative, the value of \(W\) must be less than zero: \[ W < 0 \] This occurs when \(\cos \theta < 0\). 3. **Analyzing the Cosine Function**: The cosine function is negative in the following ranges: - \(90^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ\) 4. **Finding Relevant Angles**: - At \(\theta = 90^\circ\), \(\cos 90^\circ = 0\) (work done is zero). - At \(\theta = 180^\circ\), \(\cos 180^\circ = -1\) (work done is negative). - At angles between \(90^\circ\) and \(180^\circ\), the cosine value is negative, indicating negative work. 5. **Conclusion**: The angle at which negative work is done is specifically at \(180^\circ\) (where the force is applied in the opposite direction to the displacement) and also in the range of \(90^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The angle between the force and displacement when negative work is done can be \(180^\circ\) or in the range of \(90^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ\). ---
