Are the following definitions correct?

  • Work done as energy transferred
The energy transferred when the forces between two objects interact

  • Work done by a force
Work done = force x distance moved in the direction of force applied (W=F*Δs)

  • Work done by a gas
Work done = pressure x change in volume of gas (W=p*ΔV)

Did you just... I mean, you answered the 2nd and the 3rd question yourself.
 
When a force is applied to a body and the body is displaced from its original position then work is done.
