How is energy different from work?
They have the same units- Joules - so can be equated. Work is something actually done, and in doing work energy is expended, but you can also talk of doing work to store energy. For example in running a compressor to fill a cylinder with compressed gas, energy is supplied to the compressor motor, work is done by the compressor, and the result is stored energy in the gas. Fuels such as coal have potential or stored energy, which can be released to do work. So I think the fundamental is energy, but when energy is used, work results. Hope that makes sense!
How does doing work on an object change its energy?
doing work changes the energy because energy is begining transferred to the object and the power will be equal to the amount of energy transferred.
How is work and enegry related?
You can store energy by doing work. And if you have energy in your body (or a system) you can do work using the energy.
What is the rate of doing work or using energy?
(physics) the rate of doing work; measured in watts (= joules/second) - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-rate-of-doing-work-or-using-energy-(58%26%2345%3B19)#sthash.l6xRuIk4.dpuf
Is defined as the rate at which work is done?
The term that represents the rate at which work is done is the watt. It is defined as 1 joule per second.
What do you call some one who uses more energy avoiding work than actually doing the work?
a procrastinator
What work is done without using energy?
If you mean "work" and "energy" in the physical sense, that isn't possible. "Doing work" can be understood as a transfer of energy; doing work requires energy.

What different between power and energy?
Power is the rate of doing work or delivering energy whereas energy is the capacity for doing work.

Do you need energy in doing work?
Yes. Basically, work is the transfer of energy.
What word describes the capacity to do work?
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. The word "able" applies to a capable of doing work, or doing it correctly.
What is energy about?
Energy is often defined as the potential for doing work
What is the science definition for energy?
Energy is the capability of doing work
What is the scientific name of the ability to do work?
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. The word "able" applies to a capable of doing work, or doing it correctly.
How can energy be use with out doing work?
yes
