Consider a scenario where a block is moving on a smooth horizontal table. Describe the work done by gravitational force on the block, and select the correct option describing the nature of this work.

Question diagram
A

The gravitational force does no work as it acts perpendicular to the displacement.

B

The gravitational force does positive work because it acts in the direction of motion.

C

The gravitational force does negative work since it opposes the motion.

D

The gravitational force does work equal to the kinetic energy of the block.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In the given context, the gravitational force acts at right angles to the displacement of the block, hence it does no work.
