I know the equation for work is distance x force = work.

Is there such an equation for growth and/or for movement?

Depends...what kind of growth? What kind of movement?

The PE and KE that "limbo" is talking about are Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy.

Potential Energy is calculated as "the mass times the acceleration due to gravity times the height above the ground". For instance, if you hold a 2-kilogram paperweight 2 meters above the ground, it has a potential energy of (2kg)(9.8m/s²)(2m) = 39.2 J

Kinetic energy is calculated as "one half the mass times the velocity squared". So if you dropped that same paperweight, all its potential energy would be converted to kinetic energy:

mgh = 1/2 mv²
39.2 J = 1/2(2kg)v² = 1kg v²
v² = 39.2
v = 6.26 m/s

So the paperweight would be travelling 6.26 m/s when it hit the ground.

What kind of growth?

Movement is equal and opposite reaction.. theoy of realitivity and such... But get ready to throw away those text books once we bend some ligght around the sun... to infinity and beyond.. hold on baby

QUADRATIC EQUATION: -b(+ or -)squrt(b^2-4ac)/2a SOHCAHTOA: A pnuemonic for memorizing triginometric ratios It stands for: Sine opposite (over) Hypotenuse Cosine adjoining (over) Hypotenuse Tangent Opossite (over) adjoining boom or DECAY formula: N=No*e^kt No=initial quanity ok=boom consistent (or decay consistent if detrimental) t= time e=consistent for the bottom of a organic logarithem. DISTANCE formula: d= squrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2) d=distance x2= one x coordinate x1= yet another x coordinate y2= y coordinate of x2 y1= y coordinate of x1
