Energy and Work
WORK
.Work is the transfer of energy through motion.
.In order for work to take place, a force must be exerted through a distance.
.The amount of work done depends on two things:
---The amount of force exerted.
---The distance over which the force is applied.
-Two factors to decide that work has been done:
...something has to move.
...the motion must be in the direction of the applied force
-Work can be calculated by the this formula.
***Work=force x distance***
