Difference Between Work And Energy
Work |
Energy |
| Work is the result of energy transferred to an object due to some force. | Energy is defined as the property of matter through which it does work. |
| Can be either positive or negative. | It is always positive, but the change in energy may be negative. |
| If the applied force is in the same direction of the displacement than work is positive
It the applied force is in the opposite direction of the displacement that work is negative |
The is no direction component here as it is a scalar quantity |
