In case of negative work the angle between the force and displacement is

In case of negative work, the angle between the force and displacement is 180° i.e. force and displacement are in opposite directions.


Formula for work done= F× d × cos θ at θ=180°


W < 0 (negative), that means the system is losing its energy.


The following table summarizes the same:
