The work produced by force on a body can be zero, positive or negative. It depends on the displacement’s direction of the body relative to the force. For a body travelling in the opposite direction to the force’s direction, such as frictional force acting on a body travelling in the forward direction, the work produced due to the frictional force is negative.
Correspondingly, when a body experiences zero force when displacement’s angle is perpendicular to the direction of the applied force. For example, if a person lifts a body on his head travelling at an angle of 90° relative to the gravitational force, then the work done by the gravitational force on the body is zero.
