Work is a force applied over a distance
Energy is the ability to do work
Power is work done over time

An example of work is lifting a 2 lb box one ft. This person did 2 lb-ft of work. If the box doesnt move, there is no work done no matter how much force is exerted.

An example of energy is a wagon sitting on top of a hill. Gravity is giving the wagon the potential to do work and therefore, the wagon contains potential energy. If the wagon were moving downhill it would have kinetic energy, or motion energy. (This is commonly referred to as momentum)

For an example of power we can look at our man lifting a box again. If he lifted the box one foot in half a second he had a power of 4 lb-ft/sec (Work/Time).

Work = force on a system times the distance the system moves in the direction of the force (a system is any object or collection of objects such as an automobile or a weight being lifted from the earth)
Power equals the work done divided by the time it takes to do the work;
the energy of a system equals the work done on the system and is the capacity the system has to do work on another system;
The connecting terms are: force, distance,and time.

u cant make a ven diagram of these three quantities as work and energy would only overlap.work is just another form of energy where as power is entierly different thing

Have a look at the Work-Energy Theorem, then just divide the terms you want by time.

W = delta KE
Fxd = KE (init) - KE (final)

etc
