उत्तर
When the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, the work done in such cases is zero. We have a relation as,
W = FS cos θ
Where,
(W) - Work done
(F) - Force
(S) - Displacement
(θ) - Angle between force and distance
When the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, cos 90° = 0, and hence the work done is also zero.
Example - The work done by the earth on a satellite moving in a circular orbit around it is zero because gravitational force of attraction and displacement of sattelite at any instant are perpendicular to each other.
