A force is applied to the object, and the object moves in the direction of the force.

Reason: Work = F · d (dot product) — there must be a component of force along the displacement. If the force and displacement are in the same direction, the work is positive. If no force acts, no work is done; if the force is opposite the displacement, work is done but it is negative.
