In order for work to take place the energy present must be related to the movement of the object.

This is another one of those muddy misleading questions, followed by
a muddy group of choices from which an answer must be selected.

a).  is absurd.  There's no such thing as a "balanced force", only
a balanced group of forces.

b).  is probably the choice the question is aiming for.

c).  is not so.  The engines of an airplane do plenty of work lifting the plane
off the ground, although the force of the engines is never directed upward.

d).  is really awkward.  The object's motion is almost never the cause of the force.
The force is almost always the cause of the object's motion.

Now for the big 800-lb gorilla in the room:  No moving object needs to be involved
in order for energy to be flowing or work to be getting done.

-- A radio wave radiates through space.  Straighten out a wire coat-hanger and
stick it up in the air where the radio wave can pass by it.  Electrical current flows
through the wire, and you can drain the electrical energy out the bottom of it.  

-- A light bulb is shining.  Some distance away, something it's shining on
gets warm, because of the heat energy that has shot across to it from the
light bulb and soaked into it.

-- A lightning bolt jumps from the ground to a passing cloud.  Or, if you feel
more comfortable with it, a lightning bolt jumps from a cloud to the ground.
It doesn't matter.  Either way, there's enough energy splashing around to
ignite houses, zap TVs and computers, melt concrete, vaporize water, and
light up a city.  Although nothing is moving.

mylen [45]

Answer:

<em>In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.</em>

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

hope this helps

Highlight two factors which shows that heat from the sun does reach the earth's surface by convection.
MAXImum [283]

radiation

when the suns radiation fall on the earth and its objects they receive heat energy and hence get heated. Thus the suns heat reaches the earth by. the process of radiation
