How did you find PF?
a google search on how a joule can be used to measure work AND energy.
I've found some sound and not so sound answers so far. The most interesting is one saying that work is simply one form of energy. The answer used math to support it, but I haven't checked the math yet. Adult ADD, I believe, prompted me to move on instead. Maybe I just have no patience. Idk…
