Zero.

This is because when a body when around in a circle, a centripetal force acts on the particle to keep it at that fixed distance from the centre. At each point, the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other. Hence no work is done.

The answer is NOT Zero! A Force is required in the direction of motion around the circle. At every point (an infinite number of them) there must be a Force PERPENDICULAR to the Centrifugal and Centripetal Forces or the object would not move. Therefore the amount of work done is the product of that FORCE times the circumference of the circular path, if only considering one revolution.

How much work may be done on a body that moves in a circle with constant speed?

If there's a body moving in a circle with constant speed, and you come along and do work on it, then either its speed will change, or it will depart from the circle, or both. The force that's keeping it on the circular path is not doing any work on it.

If you push a box forward and the box moves forward you have done how much work?

You have only done as much external work on the box as the distance it moves: work = force x distance. If it does not budge no work is done on the object. You have done "internal" work on your muscles which converts to heat energy, but technically speaking, no external work is done on the object


How much work is done when a force of 2n moves a body through a distance of 10 cm in direction of the force?

force=2N distance moved=o.1 m work done=? work done=force(N)*distance moved (M) work done=2*o.1 work done= 0.2 watts

How much work is done if you hold a 50lbs box for 5 hours?

No work is being done. Work is when an object moves in the same direction as the force applied to it.

How much work is done when a force 14 N moves an object 6 meters?

The product of these two numbers, assuming the force acts in the same direction as the object moves.
