Is it possible that an object is in the state of accelerated motion due to
external force acting on it, but no work is being done by the force. Explain with a example

Solution

Yes, it is possible, if an object is moving in a circular path then the force is always acting perpendicular to the direction of displacement.So work done is zero.
