Work is done by the applying force when
Correct answer: C. applied force generated motion
- A. applied force is variable
- B. applied force is perpendicular to the motion
- C. applied force generated motion
- D. applied force is constant
Explanation
Work is equal to the product of force and displacement. So, work is only done by the applied force when this force produces motion.

About Work
Work is done when a force produces displacement, with its value determined by the component of force along the displacement. The topic covers positive, negative and zero work, work by variable forces from force-displacement graphs, and the connection between net work and change in kinetic energy.
