Question

A force does work on an object if a component of the force is called

Answer 1

Explanation:

The work done by an object is given by :

$W=Fd\cos \theta$

Here,

F is force

d is displacement

$\theta$ is the angel between F and d.

If the angle between force and displacement is 0, then the work done is equal to, $W=Fd$.

So, a force does work on an object if a component of the force is parallel to the displacement of the object.
