A box is under the influence of two (and only two) forces. Julio is pulling the box to the left. A conservative force (exerted by something other than Julio) is pulling the box to the right. Julio moved the box a distance of 0.35 meters to the left. Which of the following statements correctly describes the physics of the situation as he moved the box? O The potential energy of the system decreased as the conservative force did negative work. O It is impossible to know without more information. The potential energy of the system increased as the conservative force did negative work. The potential energy of the system increased as the conservative force did positive work. O The potential energy of the system decreased as the conservative force did positive work.
