To determine whether it is possible for a body to be in accelerated motion under the action of a force while no work is done by that force, we can analyze the relationship between force, displacement, and work. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Work Done**: Work done (W) by a force is defined as the product of the force (F) and the displacement (S) in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ W = F \cdot S \cdot \cos(\theta) ...
