You can't add or subtract quantities with different dimensions, like force and distance, speed and volume, etc.
Work is defined as force times distance.
velocity
Work is defined as force times displacement in the direction of the force being applied. This means that work is a measure of how much force is used to move an object a certain distance. Mathematically, work is calculated as the product of force and distance: Work = Force x Distance.
The term defined as the size of the force multiplied by the distance through which the force acts is work. Work is calculated as the force applied in the same direction as the displacement multiplied by the distance moved.

Work.
Work is the result of applying a force over a certain distance in a system. It is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move a certain distance in the direction of the force.
Work "W" is defined as the product of force "F" times distance "D": W = FD
Applying force through a distance is called work. Work is defined as the exertion of force over a distance that results in the transfer of energy.
The product of force and distance is called work. Work is defined as the energy transferred to an object when a force is applied over a distance in the direction of the force. Work is usually expressed in joules (J).
Its arbitrary - that's how the word (work) is defined.
