In [[physics]], the creation of [[motion]] in the presence of an opposing [[force]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Chemistry''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref>
In [[physics]], work refers to the product of [[force]] and [[distance]] vectors
<ref>Serway and Beichner, ''Physics for Scientists and Engineers'', Fifth Edition</ref>.
''W'' = F · d
Work is a transfer of [[energy]]; if ''W'' is positive, there is a transfer of energy ''to'' the system, and if ''W'' is negative there is a transfer of energy ''from'' the system.
Its units are that of force multiplied by distance, in SI this is [[newton (unit)|Newton]] · [[Meter]], or [[Joule]]
