Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work.
Energy comes in different forms: Heat (thermal) Light (radiant) Motion (kinetic)
work: energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement
In physics, energy would be the capacity an object has to do work. In physics, work would be when a force is applied to an object and the object that the force is exerted on moves.

work and energy
ReplyDeleteEnglish:
work: stuff you have to do.
Energy: the ability to keep doing something
