What do work and energy have in common

Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.

Explanation:

A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object. If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object. Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force * Displacement Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * (velocity) ² Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height Both energy and work are measured in Joules.
