What else can I help you with?
Force equals mass times what?
Acceleration. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This relationship is represented by the equation F = ma.
Is it possible that a body be in accelarated motion under a force acting on a body yet no work is being done by the force?
Yes, that is possible. For example, an object in circular motion, accelerated towards the center. The force (and the acceleration) is normal (perpendicular) to the movement; thus, the dot product between the force and the displacement is zero.
How are mass force acceleration force and work related?
Here are two equations that might be useful.Newton's Second Law: force = mass x accelerationDefinition of work: work = force x distance
How energy force motion are interrelated?
Force changes motion, according to Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration). Applying a force over a distance requires work (= energy transfer); in the simplest case, this work is equal to force x distance.
What is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?
Not necessarily. In our atmosphere, of course, we have friction due to the object displacing air, or if it is moving on some kind of wheel we have bearing friction, wheels (or what-have-you) against the road surface, etc. If the path or speed of the object is changing, then there is a force acting on it. Like the space station orbiting the Earth.

What is an exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force called?
The answer to your question is Work. The definition of work is: "When a force acts against resistance to produce motion in a body, the force is said to do work." - The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics... Which means the exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force.

Does the force of gravity do work on a satellite when it is in motion?
No, the force of gravity does not do work on a satellite when it is in motion because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
What is the cause and effect relationships between force and acceleration?
The relationship between force and acceleration is defined by Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that if a greater force is applied to an object, it will experience a greater acceleration, assuming its mass remains constant. Conversely, if the mass of an object increases, a greater force is needed to achieve the same acceleration.
What occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of force?
The object accelerates in the direction of the force, following Newton's second law of motion. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Why radial force doesn't work on orbit in circular motion?
Radial force in circular motion does not work because the acceleration needed to keep an object moving in a circle is provided by the centripetal force, directed towards the center of the circle. This centripetal force maintains the object's velocity and prevents it from moving in a straight line. Therefore, no additional radial force is required for the object to stay in orbit.
When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
Yes, work is being done when force and motion are going in the same direction. Work is defined as the product of force applied in the direction of motion and the distance over which the force is applied. So, when force and motion are in the same direction, work is being done.
When a force when a force produces motion in the direction of the force?
work
