Work done by the system is considered as Positive
Work done on the system is considered as Negative
work done on the system: when a surrounding does work on the system the total energy increases so work done is positive..........
In thermodynamics, work done by a system on its surroundings or another system is said to be positive.
There are different conventions as to what work is negative and what work is positive. The convention used by engineers and physicists is that work done BY the system on its surroundings is positive while work done ON the system by its surroundings is negative. Chemists reverse these conventions.
Positive work is work done in the direction of motion, while negative work is work done in the opposite direction from the motion.opposite
If a force is applied, but nothing in the system moves, no work has been done. Work is only done when something moves.
If work is done on the system then it has a negative sign. If work is done by the system then it has a positive sign.

First, there are certain sign conventions. It could be defined in a different way, but things are traditionally done in a certain way. Second, if work going out of the system is defined as positive, then it is quite logical that work going into a system should have the opposite sign.
There are two conventions. One says that work done on the system is positive, the other says that work done by the system is positive. Chemists tend to use the former, physicists tend to use the latter... one of several reasons it's not a good idea to take thermodynamics in chemistry and physics at the same time.
Positive work is work done in the direction of motion, while negative work is work done in the opposite direction from the motion.opposite
POSITIVE work is done when the direction of displacement and gravitational force is same. This makes an angle of zero degrees. Fd?FScos0 equals +1. The work done is positive.
Positive.
no
The answer is positive because the force and direction are the same, therefore work is also positive.
If the angle between the displacement and force applied is less than a right angle, then it is Positive Work done. If the angle between the displacement and the force applied is greater than a right angle then it is Negative Work done. If the displacement and force are at right angles, or either is zero, then it is Zero Work done.
