NEET Physics Work-Energy Theorem MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following statements about the Work-Energy Theorem is correct?

A

The work done by a force at an angle of 90 degrees to the displacement is zero.

B

The gravitational force always does positive work on an object in motion.

C

Negative work can only occur when friction is involved in the motion.

D

Work and energy have different dimensions, but both are measured in joules.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the Work-Energy Theorem, when the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees, the work done is indeed zero since cos(90°) = 0. This is consistent with the principles outlined in the NCERT context.
