Question

Is force a energy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. A force is an external agent capable of changing the state of rest or motion of a particular body.
2. Push or pull of an object is considered a force
3. Being a vector quantity, a force has both magnitude and direction.
4. When labor is performed or heat is applied to something, energy is the quantitative property that must be transmitted to the object. A conserved quantity is energy.

Let us imagine a block is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane. If an external agent applies a net force $\left(F\right)$ that causes a body to move, the energy required to do work $\left(W\right)$ is determined by the "$D$" units as follows:

$W=F·d$

The displacement is measured in $m$, while the force is measured in $kg{m}^{-2}$.

A physical system's ability to accomplish activity is called energy. Energy may be changed into other forms, but it cannot be generated or destroyed.

The SI unit of energy $\left(E\right)$ is therefore given by,

$\begin{array}{l}E=kgm{s}^{-2}\left(m\right)\\ E=kg{m}^2{s}^{-2}\end{array}$

Observe that it is more accurate to differentiate between force and energy based on their fundamental units.

Therefore,

1. The terms energy and force are not interchangeable; they are not synonymous.
2. A force is a push or a pull that can be seen and felt, whereas energy is a slightly more abstract term.
3. Force is measured in Newtons, while energy is measured in Joules.

Hence, force is not energy.
