A force acting on an object does no work if
a machine is used to move the object.
the force is not in the direction of the object’s motion.
the force is greater than the friction of motion.
the object accelerates

Respuesta :

if the force is not in the direction of the object’s motion then a  force acting on an object does no work
work is done if force is applied on a body and body covers some distance in the direction of the force
W=FS
hope it helps

Answer: the force is not in the direction of the object’s motion.

Explanation:

Work = Force. Displacement

⇒ W = F. s = F s cos θ

Thus, work is said to be done when a force displaces an object from its position in the direction of the force.

If the force is less the frictional force, the object would not move. An object accelerates when a force is applied. Sometimes, the direction of force and direction of motion is not same. In that case, no work is said to be done.

For example, when porter lifts the weight on head and moves forward. The weight is perpendicular to the direction of motion. cos 90° = 0 ⇒ W = 0
