16. Assertion: When a force is applied and the object displaces in the direction of force is
called as work done.
Reason: when the object displaces in the perpendicular direction to the force it is
called as negative work done.
17. Assertion: A body can have energy without doing work
Reason: energy is the capacity to do work.
