The work done by a body against friction always results in :

A

Loss of kinetic energy

B

Loss of potential energy

C

Gain of kinetic energy

D

Gain of potential energy

Answer

Loss of kinetic energy

Explanation

Solution

Friction always opposes motion. A body does work against friction at the expense of its kinetic energy.

Hence, the work done by a body against friction always results in loss of kinetic energy.
