Which of the following statements about work is or are true? (Morethan one statement may be true.)
A. Negative net work done on an object always reduces the object'skinetic energy.
B. If the work done on an object by a force is zero, then eitherthe force or the displacement must have zero magnitude.
C. If a force acts downward, it does negative work.
D. The formula can be used only if the force is constant over thedistance.
