No work is done by a force on an object if (a) the force is always perpendicular to its velocity

Monjur Alahi

No work is done by a force on an object if 

(a) the force is always perpendicular to its velocity 

(b) the force is always perpendicular to its acceleration 

(c) the object is stationary but the point of application of the force moves on the object 

(d) the object moves in such a way that the point of application of the force remains fixed.

(a) the force is always perpendicular to its velocity

(c) the object is stationary but the point of application of the force moves on the object
(d) the object moves in such a way that the point of application of the force remains fixed.

Explanation: 

Since there is no displacement along the force when it is perpendicular to the velocity of an object, so no work is done. Answer (a). (b) is not true because the acceleration will always be in the direction of force according to Newton's Second Law of Motion. 

No work is done if there is no displacement of the object in the direction of the force. Answer (c). 

Again there is no displacement along the force, no work done. Answer (d).

Write an expression for the work done when a force is acting on an object in the direction of its displacement.

When a force F displaces a body through a distance S in the direction of the applied force, then the work done W on the body is given by the...

Certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 m s–1 to 2 m s–1 . Calculate the work done by the force.

Mass of the body = 20 kg  Initial velocity = 5 m/s  Final velocity = 2 m/s  We know that , Work done = change in kinetic energy = 1/2 mu2 - 1/2 mv2 = 1/2...

An object of mass, m is moving with a constant velocity, v. How much work should be done on the object in order to bring the object to rest?

The object is in motion, so its energy = kinetic energy = 1 /2 mv2  The kinetic energy of the object, when it comes to rest = 0.  Work done on object...

What is meant by work done by a force? When do we call work done to be positive or negative?

When force applied on a body causes the body to move then the work is said to be done by the force.  Positive work done: when the body is displaced in...

Underline the correct alternative: Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.

Kinetic energy The work done against the direction of friction reduces the velocity of a body. Hence, there is a loss of kinetic energy of the body.
