What is Understanding Work and Heat in Physics about?
Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force, and the amount of work done is equal to the force times the distance moved. Positive work occurs when the sole external effect on a system could be described as lifting a mass. The SI unit for work is the joule (Nm), with kilojoules (kJ) often used to measure larger amounts of work since they involve lifting heavier masses over greater distances.
