when can a negative work be done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when the object is moving in the opposite direction as the work being done...... an example would be the work done by friction on a moving ball. the work would be negative since the force of friction is in the opposite direction as the movement of the ball.

ALso negative work is done when you are going against an electric field
