Alphabetical
work
[noun]
A process that occurs when a force acts over a distance, as when an object is moved. Work equals the multiple of the applied force by distance: W = F*d. Work can be thought of as a process in which one form of energy is transformed into another and is commonly expressed in units of joules.
