Answer :
First condition is that there must be some displacement in the body. If you apply force and body does not move, the work done will be zero.
Second condition is that direction of force should not be perpendicular to the direction of motion. You will learn more about this condition in higher grades.
In the above mentioned conditions, work done will be zero.

Give reason for the following :
Pardeep says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with him? Why?
Evergreen - ScienceWhich of the following does not possess the ability to do work not because of motion?
A. A sparrow flying in the sky
B. A sparrow moving slowly on the ground
C. A sparrow in the nest on a tree
D. A squirrel going up a tree
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur - PhysicsEach of the following statement describes a force - acting. Which force is causing work to be done?
A. The weight of a book at rest on a table
B. The pull of a moving railway engine on its coaches
C. The tension in an elastic band wrapped around a parcel
D. The push of a person’s feet when standing on the floor
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur - PhysicsWhat should be the angle between the direction of force and the direction of motion of a body so that the work done is zero?
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur - PhysicsIn case of negative work, the angle between the force and displacement is:
A. 0o B. 45o
C. 90o D. 180o
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur - PhysicsWhen do we say that work is done? Write the formula for the work done by a body in moving up against gravity. Give the meaning of each symbol which occurs in it.
