what is the difference between work, energy, force and accelaration?

Question

and is accelaration a type of force?

Answer 1

i will answer this as INTUITIVELY as possible !

FORCE causes a mass to ACCELERATE.

the motion of this mass over a distance is the WORK done.

the amount of WORK done per unit time is ENERGY.

acceleration is NOT a type of force. it is a type of motion.

hope your question was answered !

:)

Answer 2

Force is a push or pull exerted on an object.
It is given by Force= mass * acceleration

when a force is exerted on a body, energy is transferred to the body. This energy can cause a variety of outcomes. Usually, this causes some work to be done in the form of movement.

Energy = Force*Displacement

The work done by a body is proportional to the energy possessed by the body. As the type of work which a body performs may differ, work is generally equated with energy for calculation convenience.

Work = Energy

As a result of the energy supplied by a force to an object, an object at rest may gain kinetic energy and move, or a moving body may gain kinetic energy and pick up speed. This change in the velocity of the particle due to an external force when calculated per unit time, is called acceleration.

Acceleration = (Initial velocity + Final Velocity) /Time Interval

Answer 3

Acceleration means something is gaining speed. Like in your car when you get on the highway.

acceleration = (meters/second) per second or (speed/second)

Force is a way of talking about something that is accelerating.
It involves the mass too. When you are driving, you're not really thinking about the mass of your car, just how quickly you can get up to the speed limit.

Force = mass*acceleration = (kilograms)*(meters/second^2)

Work is what you do when your car breaks down and you have to
push it to the exit. There's force involved, because you are applying it to the car... you accelerate a big mass until it's in motion. It is work because you apply the force over a distance, say a tenth of a mile to the exit.

Work = force * distance =
(kilogram)*(meters/second^2)
*(meters)

Energy is similar to work, it has the same units:

Energy = (kilogram)(meters/second)^2

Energy is the capacity to do work. You transfer the food energy in your body to the motion of the car, (the car's motional energy). The energy is transferred through work, because later you are exhausted from pushing the car, and thus have less capacity to do work.

Answer 4

Work is a tangible measure of something being done. For example, the erg is a unit of work (1 gram moved through 1 cm. in 1 second). Work involves energy, mass and time.

Energy is pretty self-explanatory, though it comes in different forms. All energy ultimately comes down to heat and mass, though.

Force is any influence that is capable of acting on something else. The term is most correctly applied to the four fundamental forces; gravity, weak nuclear interaction, strong nuclear interaction and electromagnetism.

Acceleration is a change in speed over a given period of time. Frex, falling involves an acceleration of 32 feet per second per second (as in, the speed increases by 32 feet per second for every second of falling).

Answer 5

All are different physical quantities but are related to one another.

Force is mass times the acceleration.

Work is the force times the displacement in its direction.

Mechanical Energy is the work done by a force.

Mechanical energy is one among many forms of energy.

Answer 6

work is done onbly when a body is displaces it in its own direction
energy is the capacity of a body 2 do work
force is any external force which affects or tends 2 affect the shape and/or size of a body
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body.

in a way yes.v can say 2 some extent that acceleration is a force .

Answer 7

acceleration is a change in velocity, force is the product of acceleration and mass, work is the product of force and distance

Answer 8

work is the product of force and distance.it is measured in joules.
energy is the ability to do work.it is measured in newtons.
force is the product of mass and acc.due to gravity.it is measured in newtons.
acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. it is measured in metre/sec sqare.

Answer 9

force causes work and work produces energy and accerelation.accerelation is not force but it is result of force.

Answer 10

with ENERGY , FORCE does the WORK to produce ACCELRATION...........simple
