Gravity work for horizontal motion: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Gravity work for horizontal motion:
A. Speed dependent
B. Positive
C. Negative
D. Zero
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Gravity acts vertically; horizontal displacement ⇒ angle = 90° ⇒ W = Fd cos90° = 0. No work for perpendicular force-displacement. Memory aid: 'Work = Fd cosθ; θ=90° ⇒ W=0'. Mechanics concept frequently tested to correct misconception that force always does work.
