ANSWER and EXPLANATION

We want to know how to tell if work is done on an object.

Work is a result of a force acting on an object that thereby causes a displacement of the object. It is defined mathematically as:


W=F\cdot d

where F = force; d = displacement

Therefore, we say that work is done on an object when a force is applied to the object and it causes the object to move a certain distance.
