Yes, work can be done even if there is no motion. Work is defined as the transfer of energy from one object to another, and it is calculated as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance through which the force is applied. Therefore, if a force is applied to an object, but the object does not move, work is still being done because energy is being transferred. Examples of work being done without motion include pushing against a wall or holding a heavy object. In both cases, there is a force being applied to an object, but the object is not moving. However, work is still being done because energy is being transferred from the person applying the force to the object.
