No work is done when you push against something that is too heavy to move. A force has to cause movement for work to have been done.

How Describe a situation in which work id done in object.?

An example of work being done on an object is when a painter paints a canvas. The canvas is the object on which the work of painting is being done. The action of applying paint to the canvas is the work being performed on the object.


What is an example of action-reaction pairs?

An example of action-reaction pairs is when you push against a wall (action) and the wall pushes back against you with an equal force (reaction). Another example is when a rocket pushes gas downwards (action), causing the rocket to move upwards (reaction).


What is and action reaction engine that propel an object forward?

A jet engine, such as a turbojet or turbofan, is an example of an action-reaction engine that propels an object forward. These engines work on the principle of Newton's third law of motion - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, creating thrust that propels the aircraft forward.


Is holding a watermelon in your hands an example of work or no work?

Holding a watermelon in your hands is not considered work in the physics sense. Work is defined as force applied over a distance in the direction of the force, whereas holding a watermelon is a static action that does not involve movement over a distance.


Is jumping an example of Newton's third law in action?

Yes, jumping is an example of Newton's third law in action. When you push down on the ground, the ground pushes back with an equal and opposite force, propelling you into the air.
