- 9. Work is ________ if the force has a component in the direction of motion.
- 10. Work is ________ if the force has a component OPPOSITE to the direction of motion.
- 11. The type of potential energy gained when lifting an object upward to a new height is known as _____ potential energy.
- 12. This is known as the amount of work done in a given amount of time.
