When a force moves an object, energy is transferred and work is done.
Work done is the amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to an object to make it move.
Although work and energy are both measured in Joules (J), work done is not a type of energy - it's a type of energy transfer.
Work done is calculated by multiplying the force (F) that's applied to an object by the distance (s) that the object moves in the direction of the force.
WORK DONE = FORCE X DISTANCE
