When a force is applied to an object, what must occur for work to be accomplished on the object

When a force is applied to an object the object "HAS to be traveling in the same direction as the force." If you put force in a object but it's moving in the opposite direction it would decrease the speed of the object or cause the object to come to a complete stop but if you apply force in a object in the same direction it''s moving in it would increase the speed of that object and cause the object to move faster.

Hope this helps!

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper
