In physics, work is the transfer of energy to or from a material body that causes its motion in space. Work is performed when a force causes a body to be displaced or move a specified distance in the direction of the force. The mathematical equation for work is W (work)=f (force) x d (distance). Work is usually expressed in joules or ergs.

Work is another name for energy, when there is movement.
