Work formula
The energy an object has because of its position, condition, or chemical composition.
W = F × d — work equals the force applied to the object times the distance the object moved.
Any region in which a noncontact force has an effect on objects in the field.
The potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. Energy is released when a nucleus breaks apart or when two small nuclei join together — this is where the sun's energy comes from.
The unit of work — a newton-meter. One joule is about the work done lifting an apple (1 newton) from your feet to your waist (1 meter).
The total kinetic energy of all the particles that make up an object. Particles move faster at higher temperatures.
