Newton 1st law ....anybody will motion has no friction force that's case, body will continue the motion and anybody will rest with no force can apply this body will rest every time.

so,
W=F * Displacement.

option A is;

Force is known ( Newtown 1, 2, 3,......n)
displacement is Zero
W=F * 0,
W=0.

option B is;

Force =0 , displacement is known,
W=0 * D
W=0.

So, option C Either (a) or (b) is Right.
(2)

I think A is the correct answer but given an answer is (c) then I would like to think moreover as when a body placed on some height and if we allow it to fall freely (under the action of gravity) it is said to be displaced but not work done on it.

My query is if I m pushing a table from one place to another and again bringing it back to the same position then the displacement is zero but work done is not zero. So how can it be either (a) or (b). please explain?

Freely falling bodies have displacement and force is the gravitational force only. no external force.w=force*displacement.

A and B either is zero work will be zero. So I think (d) is the answer.

Parth said:   10 years ago
If the magnitude of the force is zero, if the magnitude of displacement is zero, or if the angle between the displacement and force vector is 90 degrees.

How can say that without a force body will move?

While Newtown says without force any body can't move. It is not Either A or B. It will be A only.
(1)

I think the correct option should be A only. One need to understand that it is impossible for body to have displacement without applying force.

Wahid said:   8 years ago
If the body moves at a constant velocity, in that case the acceleration is zero. However the body is still displaced.

Dilute has the clear picture; Work done W is given as; W=Fd (when F or d equals zero, W equals zero).

Dilute said:   1 decade ago
Since we know w=f*s, So if one of this factors (f or s) becomes zero then work done is zero.
