You might call it that way - and in fact, for a time it was. But please note that in the precise language of physics, force and energy are two different things; they don't even have the same dimensions. The dimensions of energy are the same as those of work, which is force x distance. In other words, you need to apply a force over a certain distance to get an energy transfer.

Is chemical energy an example of a force?
No. When there is an energy, there is often also some kind of force involved. However, you should be careful to distinguish the two. An energy is NOT a force, and a force is NOT an energy.
What kind of force is gravitational force?
Gravitational force is a form of potential energy
What kind of energy do simple machines take?
force
What kind of energy is the force of 5 newtons?
A force and an energy are two quite different things. Energy is spent if you apply a force for a certain distance, so energy has units of force x distance (in the SI, newtons x meters).
What kind of Scientist studies motion force energy?
physicist
If a hammer was hitting a nail what kind of force is it?
It is kinetic energy.
What kind of force will a stack of magazines exert on a table?
The kind of force that a stack of magazines exert on a table is known as gravitational force. This is considered to be a type of potential energy.
What is the definition for gravitation energy?
Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.
What kind of energy is wind?
Wind energy is kinetic energy, it is created by the force of air in motion.
What kind of energy does friction have?
Friction is NOT energy. Friction is a FORCE (rather than a form of energy). It can be used in the formula: W = F·d where "W" stands for work (which IS energy), F stands for force (like friction), and "d" stands for distance over which the force is exerted. Typically when friction is present some kind of energy of motion such as mechanical energy or kinetic energy or potential energy is being transformed into heat.

What type of energy do both a stretched rubber band and a compressed spring have?
Stretching a rubber band is like moving a brick from the floor to the table top. To get it there, you have to apply a force (to overcome gravity) for a certain distance (the height of the table). The gravitation potential energy is equal to the force times the distance.The rubber band is a little different, as the force increases the more you stretch it - but it is storing potential energy just the same. It's called elastic potential energy.
