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?

Yes, a force can perform work at any angle to the direction of motion. The work done is determined by the component of the force that is in the direction of motion, not the total force itself. This component is what contributes to the displacement of the object and thus the work done on it.


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


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)


When does a force applied to an object not do any work?

A force does not do any work on an object when the object does not move in the direction of the force or when the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion. Work is only done when there is displacement in the direction of the force.


Is a earring a simple machine?

No, an earring is not a simple machine. Simple machines are basic mechanical devices that help make work easier by altering the force or direction of a force applied to them. Earrings are not designed to perform any mechanical work or alter forces.


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.


What are two factors do you need to know to calculate how much work has done in any situations?

The displacement produced by the body. The amount of force subjected to the body. The angle between the direction of force and displacement.


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.


IS THERE work can be done without any force?

No, work cannot be done without any force being applied. In physics, work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied. Therefore, without force, there is no work being done on an object.


Work done by a constant force?

There is motion but it is non- uniform motion. It cannot be seen by us because it's motin is very slow
