Define Work.

"Nothing will work unless you do," -Maya Angelou

Now we've covered energy in both kinetic and potential, and power. What about work? Now now. It'll be discussed.

When you think about work, what are the first things that pop into your mind? Did you thought of suitcases, professional wardrobe and a job with a high praising wage? Well, that's sort of wrong. That is one definition of work but in physics it's a little different so bear with me.

Work is the an activity involving a force and movement in the direction of the force. So an example would be you moving something with energy that transfers into a force to a distance of the movement.

For that, I think of a basketball shooting into a basket. You are standing before the basket and have your best friend blocking as hard as he can to not make it possible for you to shoot. You have a opening. You move swiftly and throw the ball from a good corner. Score!

The energy you put in the throw is transferred to a force. The force makes the ball move a great distance, making work happening.
