according to physics it will be zero work

W=F.S (dot product of force and displacement)

from vector algebra

W= F*S*cos ( angle between force and displacement)

W = F * S * COS (90)

BUT cos(90)= 0

so W=0

Why is it that no work is done when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other?

When a force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, no work is done because the force is not acting in the same direction as the displacement. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force, so when they are perpendicular, the force does not contribute to the displacement and no work is done.


A force acting on an object does no work if?

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


What are the conditions under which a force does no work?

A force does no work when there is no displacement of the object it is acting on, or when the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion. Another condition is when the force applied is zero, since work is the product of force and displacement.


When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion no work is done ture or false?

True. When the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done because work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Since there is no displacement in the direction of the force, no work is done.


When force is and what direction of motion no work is done?

When a force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done. This is because work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. If the force is perpendicular, then there is no displacement in the direction of the force and thus no work is done.

How much work is done when a vertical force acts on an object horizontally?

It depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object


Can a force at any angle perform work?

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


When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?

No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.


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.


How much work is done on a body of mass 1kg whirling on a circular path of radius 5m?

Zero, in this case acting force is perpendicular to the direction of displacement... Reason..... It is because here the angle is 90 degree and when there is an angle then the force is equal to F cos x * d= F *cos 90*0= 0 Therefore work done=0


When an object has a net force acting on it what happens to its velocity?

When an object has a net force acting on it, its velocity changes. The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force if the force is in the same direction as the object's velocity, decelerate if it's in the opposite direction, or change direction if the force is perpendicular to its velocity.


What effect will the direction of the applied force to a book have on the amount of work being done?

The direction of the applied force affects the direction of the displacement of the book. If the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement, work is done. If the force is applied perpendicular to the displacement, no work is done. If the force is applied opposite to the displacement, negative work is done.
