Here's why:
* Force: A force is a push or pull that can change an object's motion.
* Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance in the direction of the force.
* Energy: Energy is the capacity to do work.
In simpler terms: When you push a box across the floor, you're applying a force. The box moves because you transferred energy to it through your force. This transfer of energy is what we call work.
Key points to remember:
* Work is done only when the force causes the object to move. If the object doesn't move, no work is done.
* The amount of work done is directly proportional to the force applied and the distance the object moves.
* Work is measured in Joules (J).
