Question 8 • GA-GSE Physical Science B

Under which condition is no work done?

Answer
A
A force pushes an object and slows it down.
B
A force pulls an object and speeds it up.
C
A force pulls down on an object that moves downward.
D
A force pushes up on an object that stays in place.

Explanation

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force or against it. In choice D, the object stays in place, so its displacement is zero and the work is zero, even though a force is applied. The other choices describe objects that move while a force acts on them.
