Depending on the way a force is pushing, it can make work easier or harder. If you push a box forward, and the wind is pushing against the box, depending on the speed of the wind, will make it harder. But, if the wind was pushing you from behind, the box would move easier. Also, if you can decrease the amount of a force (let's just say decreasing friction with wheels), you will have to do less work if you want to move at the same pace. Then, you can decide whether I want to put more effort in to go faster, or go at the same pace with less effort.

What factors affect work?
Work is done when an object moves in the direction in which a force is applied to it. So the factors are the magnitude and direction of the applied force and the factors which affect the object's motion. The latter will include the mass of the object and friction (including drag).
When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
When force is opposite to the direction of motion, no work is done. The object to which the force is applied must move in the direction of the force in order for work to be done.
What should be the angle between the direction of force and the direction of motion of a body so that the work done is zero?
If the force is perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the direction of motion, that force does no work.
What is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and move 4m in the direction of force?
what is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and we move 4 m in the direction of force
When can work be negative physics?
If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.

When a force when a force produces motion in the direction of the force?
work

What force causes an object to move in the direction of the force?
The force is work.
When can work be negative physics?
If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.
What way do force work?
Work is energy, and work done by a force equals force times distance moved IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FORCE
How do unbalanced forces affect objects?
An unbalanced force will cause acceleration in the direction of the force.
When a force produces motion in the direction of the force is called?
work
What is the exertion of a force on an object called that produces motion in the direction of a force?
Work occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
What factors is used to calculate work?
Work = Force x Displacement in the direction of the Force.
