Is work being done by an automobile operating for several minutes?
No work is being done by the automobile if it is standing still with the engine running since it isn't in motion (not counting any work done by the vibrations transmitted to the air and ground upon which it rests). The engine, on the other hand IS doing work while idling since the parts inside are moving and both having work done on them and, in turn, performing work on other parts.
Is the moon orbiting around earth a form of work being done?
Answer #1:YES======================Answer #2:No
I lift a suitcase with a force of 60 newtons of 0.5 meters. How do you know whether work was done?
Work is defined as (force) times (distance). If the force is not zero, and the distance it moved through is not zero, then work was done. In other words, if you applied a force, and kept it going while the place you applied the force moved, then work was done. In this case, work = (60) x (0.5) = 30 newton-meters = 30 joules of work.
When you perform work on an object do you increase the energy of the object?
Generally yes, but it really depends on the specific situation. -- If the work is done to lift the object, then the object's potential energy is increased. -- If the work is done to accelerate the object, then the object's kinetic energy is increased. -- If the work is done to move the object against friction, then the energy supplied is dissipated, and the object's energy may or may not change, depending on whether or not it is somewhat heated by the dissipation.
What are some examples of aptitudes?
Aptitude is the competency to do a certain kind of work at a certain level, whether it be physical or mental. Examples of aptitude are scheduled tests done by employers to check how employee(s) have improved in their fields of work.

Is work done if you push a car that has run out of gas?
Yes. The work is being done by whoever is pushing rather then the engine, but work is being done. Any time a force is applied through a distance, work is being done.
Is work being done when the cushion is picked up and put in the couch?
The answer depends on whether it is being picked up from a height that is greater or less than where it is put down.
What determines when work is being done on an object?
work is scientifically defined by power. so we can conclude that work can be determined on an object by if it has energy, or inertia. for example say i pushed a box, i would be transferring my energy to the box, and using my power which would mean i am doing work to the box.

What does Lab work means?

Is work being done when someone is typing a letter?
Yes it is being done, if the person doing it is doing it as part of a paid job or because they run a business and the letter is needed for the business. If it is being typed for school it may also be considered work, but of a different kind. And from the view of physics, since energy is being expended by the person typing, and perhaps by the machinery being used, work is being done. However, if you are at work and typing a letter to your grandmother, that is not the kind of work you are being paid for and your employer would say work is not being done.
Work is being done when?
you apply a force to an object
What effect will the direction of the applied force to a book have on the amount of work being done?
The work being done will be increased if you pick it up instead of dragging it due to the friction.
Is work being done when you pick your pencil up from the floor?
Of corse,potential energy of pencil is increased.Therefor work done
