Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

3200J / 3.2KJ

Explanation:

The total energy = mgh

That is  mass x acceleration due to gravity  x height .

Where mass = 8kg

g = 10m/s²

h = 40m since it falls 40m

Therefore energy = mgh

= 8 × 10 × 40

= 80 × 40

= 3200J / 3.2KJ
