Yes, work can still be done even if there is no motion. Work is defined as the force applied over a distance, so as long as there is a force acting on an object in the direction of the force, work is being done. If an object is stationary but has a force applied to it, work is still being done even though there is no motion.

When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
Yes, work is being done when force and motion are going in the same direction. Work is defined as the product of force applied in the direction of motion and the distance over which the force is applied. So, when force and motion are in the same direction, work is being done.
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?
No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.
When the force acting on an objects points at least partially in the blank direction of the motion the work done is considered to be what?
When the force acting on an object points at least partially in the direction of motion, the work done is considered to be positive. This is because the force is helping to move the object in the same direction as its motion, resulting in a positive work output.
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion no work is done ture or false?
True. When the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done because work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Since there is no displacement in the direction of the force, no work is done.
When a particle is moving in a circular motion what is the work done by it?
When a particle is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed, the work done by the particle is zero. This is because work is defined as force applied over a distance in the direction of the force, and in circular motion, the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, resulting in no work being done.
