It certainly can! My grandfather was a millwright- he built water mills that used the force of water to do work- grinding wheat and corn, operating a sawmill to cut logs into timber, powering a forging hammer for a blacksmith, etc. On a much larger scale, the force of water is now used to turn generators, and produce electrical power.
What else can I help you with?
How is it possible to exert force but accomplish no work?
Hold a weight steady in your hand. Push a broken-down car that is stuck in the mud.
What is work and how can be determine?
Work is the exertion of energy to accomplish a task or goal. It can be determined by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance over which the force is applied in the direction of the force. The formula for work is work = force x distance x cosine(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.
What two things does work depend on?
The two things that work depend on are force and distance.
What is a device that transmits force or energy?
A simple machine, such as a lever or pulley, can transmit force or energy from one point to another. These devices allow for the multiplication or redirection of force to accomplish work.
What is energy and how does it enable an object to do work?
Energy is the ability to do work. It enables an object to do work by providing the necessary power or force to move or change its position. When energy is transferred to an object, it allows the object to exert a force and accomplish tasks.

What is the dimension for work?
In order to accomplish work, energy is required. Work has the units of energy.[ Force x Distance ][ Mass x Length2 / Time2 ]
Why do you use simple machines such as levers?
Because less force is required to accomplish the same amount of work.
What two things does work depend on?
The two things that work depend on are force and distance.
What is a device that transmits force or energy?
A simple machine, such as a lever or pulley, can transmit force or energy from one point to another. These devices allow for the multiplication or redirection of force to accomplish work.
How can the amount of force be decreased in order to accomplish the same amount of work?
By using a lever or a pulley. But the reduced force must then act through an increased distance.
What is energy and how does it enable an object to do work?
Energy is the ability to do work. It enables an object to do work by providing the necessary power or force to move or change its position. When energy is transferred to an object, it allows the object to exert a force and accomplish tasks.
How does mechanical advantage help you do work?
Mechanical advantage helps you do work by increasing the force applied to an object while decreasing the distance over which the force is applied. This allows you to apply less force to move an object over a greater distance, making work easier to accomplish.
If work party is fired upon what action should the guardsentry accomplish?
determine size and apparent intent of hostile force
How is work input and effort force related?
Work input is the product of force applied and distance moved in the direction of the force. Effort force refers to the force applied by a person or machine to overcome resistance. In essence, work input is directly related to the effort force exerted in order to accomplish a task.
What is the amount of work required to push water?
The amount of work required to push water depends on the force applied, the distance over which the force is applied, and the properties of the water being pushed, such as its viscosity and density. Work is calculated as force times distance, so the greater the force or the distance over which it is applied, the more work will be required to push the water.
