The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Acceleration of the particle
$a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(0.7 c)=0 $
$(\because c= $ Constant$ )$
Force on the particle
$F=m a=0$
Thus, work done by a particle will be zero.

Acceleration

In the real world, everything is always in motion. Objects move at a variable or a constant speed. When someone steps on the accelerator or applies brakes on a car, the speed of the car increases or decreases and the direction of the car changes. In physics, these changes in velocity or directional magnitude of a moving object are represented by acceleration
