What is the units for work?
In physics, work is a form of energy. The unit of energy in the SI system of units is the Joule. One Joule of energy is equal to the work done by a force of 1 Newton acting over a distance of 1 meter.
What unit is work done measured in?
Joules (J) This is because work is energy transferred, and energy is measured in Joules.
A measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed?
Power is the rate of change of work with respect to time. It has units of [kg*m^2/s^3].
Is energy the same thing as work?
Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.
How much work is done when a force of 12 n moves an object a distance of 5 meters?
In this case, the work is simply the product of both. Since you are using standard SI units, the answer is in joules.

Joules (J) This is because work is energy transferred, and energy is measured in Joules.
What is the unit for measuring work?
if the work is done in a straight path than Work = Force x Distance (otherwise w=FDcos(theta) ) The units of work is the joule.
What is a measure of how much work can be done in a certain amount of time?
Power = rate at which Work is done (Work or Energy divided by Time) Units often used for this include: Watt (joules/sec) Horsepower Foot-pounds/minute
Units of joules could be used when measuring?
Energy. Work done is measured in Watts, 1W = 1J/s.
How much work is done using a Watt light bulb for 1 hour?
The energy used (work done, same thing) is 120 watt-hours, which is also 0.12 units or 120x3600 joules.
A measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed?
Power is the rate of change of work with respect to time. It has units of [kg*m^2/s^3].
Convert Wh to Mw?
Not possible. A Watt-hour is a quantity of work. A MegaWatt is rate at which work is done. These units are not convertible one to another without more data.
The amount of work done in a certain amount of time?
The amount of work done in a certain amount of time is the power.Power is measured in watts, and is defined as joules per second. Work is a mechanical form of energy. Dimensionally, it is Force*Distance. Typical units are ft-lb or watt-seconds. Power is the rate of work, dimensionally Force*Distance/Time. Typical units could be ft-lb/hour, or watt.
Is energy the same thing as work?
Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.
The amount of work done per unit of time?
Work done per unit of time is defined as power. In the metric system, this unit is a watt. In the standard system, it is horsepower.
How much work is done when a force of 12 n moves an object a distance of 5 meters?
In this case, the work is simply the product of both. Since you are using standard SI units, the answer is in joules.
