Energy
The ability to do work.
-
Work
A force applied over a distance. For formulae, see work done by a constant force parallel to displacement and work done by any constant force, and work done by a position-dependent force.
-
Joule
The units of work, equivalent to a Newton-meter. Also units of energy.
-
Kinetic Energy
The energy of motion.
-
Power
Work done per unit time. For formulas, see Formula for average power, Definition of instantaneous power, and formula for instantaneous power.
-
Watt
Unit of power; equal to joule/second.
