When work is being done, energy is being transferred or transformed. Work occurs when a force acts on an object and causes it to move in the direction of the force's action. This transfer of energy can result in changes in the object's speed, position, or internal structure.

The work done by an adiabatic process is the change in internal energy of a system without any heat transfer occurring. This means that the work done is solely due to changes in pressure and volume of the system.
No, work is only done on an object when there is displacement in the direction of the force applied. If the object does not move, then no work is being done on it.
An example of work being done on an object is when a painter paints a canvas. The canvas is the object on which the work of painting is being done. The action of applying paint to the canvas is the work being performed on the object.
Yes, work is being done when you lift a box against the force of gravity. Work is defined as the force applied over a distance, and in this case, the force you exert to lift the box is acting over a vertical distance, thus work is being done.
