Question

26 true or false 1 point the force of friction acts upon a softball player as she makes a headfirst dive into third base. this is an example of work being done true false

Explanation:

Work is calculated as \(W = F\times d\times\cos\theta\), where \(F\) is the force, \(d\) is the displacement, and \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the displacement. When the force of friction acts on the softball player, the force of friction is in the opposite direction of the player's motion (\(\theta = 180^{\circ}\), \(\cos\theta=- 1\)). Since there is a non - zero force (\(F
eq0\)) and a non - zero displacement (\(d
eq0\)), work \(W = F\times d\times(-1)
eq0\) is done.

Answer:

True
