	Mechanical work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Work (abbreviated W) is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.
		Work is associated with a change in energy, but not all changes in energy can be readily analysed in terms of work.
		The SI derived unit of work is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.

	Work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Work (thermodynamics), a measure of the amount of mechanical work that can be extracted from a system as determined, typically, via free energy calculations.
		Work (project management), the effort applied to produce a deliverable or accomplish a task.
		Work (professional wrestling), a staged event – that is, one that enforces kayfabe.

		It is derivable from conservation of energy and the application of the relationships for work and energy, so it is not independent of the conservation laws.
		For a straight-line collision, the net work done is equal to the average force of impact times the distance traveled during the impact.
		The rate of doing work is equal to the rate of using energy since the a force transfers one unit of energy when it does one unit of work.

	Calculating the Amount of Work Done by Forces
		In a previous part of Lesson 1, work was defined as a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement.
		The work is subsequently calculated as forcedisplacementcosine(theta) where theta is the angle between the force and the displacement vectors.
		Calculate the work done by a 2.0-N force (directed at a 30° angle to the vertical) to move a 500 gram box a horizontal distance of 400 cm across a rough floor at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s.

	Definition of Work
		Work is the measure of a quantity that is capable of accomplishing Macroscopic Motion of a System due to the action of a Force over a Distance.
		Do not confuse the work you do to create a force with the work done by the force you create; they are not the same.
		Work is related to the distance a force moves an object and not the time it takes to move the object.

	Definition and Mathematics of Work
		The effect that work has upon the energy of an object (or system of objects) will be investigated; the resulting velocity and/or height of the object can then be predicted from energy information.
		In physics, work is defined as a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement.
		In summary, work is a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement.

		Calculate the amount of work that has to be done to lift a 10-pound bag of groceries a distance of 2.5 feet from the floor to the top of the kitchen counter.
		Work can't be a state function because it is proportional to the distance an object is moved, which depends on the path used to go from the initial to the final state.

	work on Encyclopedia.com
		WORK [work] in physics and mechanics, transfer of energy by a force acting to displace a body.
		When there is no friction and a force acts on a body, the work done by the force is equal to the increase of the kinetic and potential energy of the body, since all the energy expended by the agency exerting the force must be gained by the body.
		The efficiency of a machine, which is defined as the ratio of the work output to the work input, is always less than one, since some of the input is invariably wasted in overcoming friction.

		Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

	Howstuffworks "How Force, Power, Torque and Energy Work"
		Work is simply the application of a force over a distance, with one catch -- the distance only counts if it is in the direction of the force you apply.
		It may have felt like you did more work, but while you were walking with the weight you moved horizontally, while the force from the weight was vertical.
		The units of work are the same as the units of energy, which we will discuss later.

	Work Done by a Gas
		Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system.
		On a graph of pressure versus volume, the work is the area under the curve that describes how the state is changed from State 1 to State 2.
		But the work for the constant pressure process is greater than the work for the curved line process.

		The equation for work lists three variables - each variable is associated with the one of the three key words mentioned in the definition of work (force, displacement, and cause).
		When determining the measure of the angle in the work equation, it is important to recognize that the angle has a precise definition - it is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.
		Whenever a new quantity is introduced in physics, the standard metric units associated with that quantity are discussed.

	Work
		In almost all cases considered when studying mechanical forms of energy, when work is done on an object a force is applied to the object, and the object is displaced while this force is acting upon it.
		The amount of work is calculated by multiplying the force times the displacement.
		Now, since work is calculated as the product of force times displacement, many different combinations of forces and displacements could yield the same work, or the same energy transfer.
