Work is done when only what is applied?

Work is done when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. If there is no movement, then no work is done.


What is the only condition that work is done?

Work is done when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force. If there is no movement, no work is done, even if a force is applied.


If work is applied are there 2 forces applied?

When work is applied, there is typically only one force acting, which is the force exerted by the object that is doing the work. This force is applied in the direction of displacement of the object being acted upon. Other forces may be present, but only the force doing the work is considered when calculating work.


Explain how it is possible to do no work on an object even though you have applied a force to that object.?

It is possible to do no work on an object if the force applied is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. In such a case, the force may cause the object to change direction but not cause any displacement in the direction of the force. Work is only done when there is displacement in the direction of the force applied.


True or false work is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?

False. Work is done whenever a force is applied to an object and there is a displacement in the direction of the applied force, whether the object moves in that direction or not. In cases where the object does not move, work is still done as long as there is a force applied over a distance.

Who For work to happen the only requirements for force to be applied to an object and the object must feel pressure yes or no?

No. Force must be applied and the point of application of the force must move. Work = force x distance.


What happen when you apply a force on an object in space?

It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.


Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


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.


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.


A force acting on an object does no work if?

the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.


Does work depend only on how far the object moves yes or no?

No. Work also depends on the force applied to move the object in the direction of that force. Work is calculated as the product of the force applied on an object and the distance it moves in the direction of the force.
