Work is the measure of the amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move in the direction of the force. It is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the force by the distance the object moves.
The unit of work is the joule (J), which is equal to one newton-meter (N·m). It is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI).
Energy is the ability of a system to do work. It is a scalar quantity that can be transferred between objects or converted into different forms, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, or chemical energy.
Work and energy are directly related, as work is the measure of the transfer of energy. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to the object, and when work is done by an object, energy is transferred away from the object.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant.
