certainly. The force vector can be resolved into one component parallel to the motion of the object under force and another component perpendicular to the motion. The parallel component does the work; the perpendicular component does no work

A force at any angle to the direction of motion can perform work?

False a force at any angle to the direction of motion can not perform work. Power is the rate at which a force is applied.


Do machines make work easier by lowering the amount of force needed to perform work?

no when we applied any force on machine the machin do work fast like bike when we accelarate the bike then bike fast than genral speed


Why the force and velocity are in perpendicular direction?

In general, force and velocity do not have to be in the same direction; they can be at any angle.


What is an angle bead?

An angle bead is a bead worked on or fixed to the angle of any architectural work, for example protecting the angle of a wall.


How do you work out exterior angle of an decagon?

You cannot. An exterior angle of a decagon can have any value.


IS THERE work can be done without any force?

i don't believe so. Work = Force * distance so if there is no force there would be no work


What is the equation to get work?

In physics, work is defined by the product of force and perpendicular distance which it acts. The unit for work is the Joule(J) Work done = Force * Distance moved (Joules) (Newtons) (meters)


What is work in physics?

in physics work work=force *distance the distance covered by body by any force is called work.


Is there any difference in the work done as you change the force or the distance traveled?

Work is basically the product of force and distance traveled, so if any of the two (force, distance) change, the work will change as well.


How you can exert a large force on an without doing any work?

Work requires two items, force and motion.


When can we say that work is not done?

In the simplest case (direction doesn't change, force is constant), work is defined as:work = force x distance x cos(angle) No work is done when any of these factors is zero. In more complicated cases, an integral must be used for the calculation. In this case, it is possible that for part of the path, positive work is done, for another part, negative work, in which the total work MIGHT just happen to be zero.


What is the work done when a force will be applied on body in absence of any other force?
