   Work
   The activity by which human beings produce from the natural world and so ensure their survival. Work should not be thought of exclusively as paid employment. In traditional cultures, there was only a rudimentary monetary system, and very few people worked for money payments. In modern societies, there remain many types of work, including housework, which do not involve direct payment of wages or salary.

   work
   Compare with heat. Work is the energy required to move an object against an opposing force. Work is usually expressed as a force times a displacement. Dropping a stone from a window involves no work, because there is no force opposing the motion (unless you consider air friction...). Pushing against a stone wall involves no work, unless the stone w...

    Work
    Definition (keystage 3) When a force moves an object through some distance in the direction of the force then work is done. If the force and the motion remain constant, then the work done is the product of the force with the distance travelled in the direction of the force.<br /> Since force is measured in Newtons, and distance is measured in ...

    <chemistry> Energy transferred by mechanical means, force acting over a distance. For chemical systems the sign for work is positive, if work is done on the system and negative, if work is done by the system. An example is the expansion of a gas against the external, atmospheric pressure. In this case work is negative, because it is done by t ...
