A force acting on an object does no work if?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Work = Force x the distance moved.
If one of these things is missing, that means that there is no work.
In this case, you know that there IS force.
 So what must be missing in order for there to be no work?

A force acting on an object does no work if another force is acting on the object in the opposite direction.
or if all the forces acting on the object balance each other...

@KhiZ is right, because both of those situations result in the object not moving, which means there is force but no distance moved, so there can't be work. Make sense, @Dohnavyn24?
