How much work is done when a vertical force acts on an object moving horizontally?

as work done is dot product of force and displacement so cos(90)=0;therfore work done is zero

What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?
Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.
What force keeps an object moving in a circle. in what direction does this force act?
The Centripetal force keeps a object moving in a circle and its force and acceleration are directed toward the center of the circle
How can a force affect moving object?
because the force pulls up the moving object and it stops When a force is applied to a body, the body gets acceleration or retardation. so the moving object may move faster or may stop. when there is no force, the moving object will move with a constant velocity.
Force causing an object to start moving?
what starts to move an object is force because it's pushing on the object and what stop's the obect from moveing is force too because if the force is going the oppisit way its going to stop the object.
No force is necessary to?
to keep an object moving the way it is already moving .

When a block is moved on a surface there is an equal and opposite force acting on it - Newton's Third law- therefore the net force is zero the how does the block moves?
-- The equal and opposite forces on it are the vertical forces ... the weight of the block downward and the normal, constraint force of the surface upward. Since the vertical forces are equal and opposite, the net vertical force on the object is zero, and it has no vertical acceleration. -- Nobody ever said that the block needs force to keep moving. In fact, it doesn't. Once it's moving horizontally, no force is needed to keep it moving horizontally. If it weren't for that pesky friction where it touches the surface, it would keep moving forever with no force on it.
How does gravity affect object that are moving horizontally?
The force of gravity is the same, whether the object doesn't move at all, whether it moves horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or whatever. The force is about 9.8 newton/kilogram.Therefore, if no other forces act on the object, it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters/second squared - again, no matter how the object is moving at any given time. Under gravity (and assuming no other forces are significant - such as air resistance), an object that initially moves horizontally will have the tendency to move in a parabola.
If an object 118kilograms is on a vertical pole moving at a constant rate What is its friction in N?
There is no friction in N unless there is a force normal to the pole. If it is a vertical pole and the object is only moving up and down, there is no friction between the object and the pole. Gravity and the force applied to the object parallel to the pole are the only forces unless there is another factor such as wind or magnetic attraction.
What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
Is the force of gravity on an object at rest in free fall and the same object horizontally?
Yes. The force of gravity is the same, 9.8m/s2, whether an object is at rest, in vertical motion, or horizontal motion, because the force of gravity is due to the mass of the earth and not to the motion of any object. The force of gravity does decrease slightly with altitude, as distance from the center of the earth increases.
The energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
Mechanical energy is transferred by a force to a moving object.
What is the force that keeps an object in motion?
An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.
Does an object with more weight repuire more force to accelerate than an object with lighter weight?
It certainly does. That's why you have to push it harder to accelerate it horizontally. But that "more weight" that it has is exactly the more force it needs for vertical acceleration, and that's why all objects fall with the same acceleration.
Is it true that to keep an object moving a force must be apllied?
No, it is untrue. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.
