Work is done when a body is displaced under the action of a force. Work (W) is equal to the product of force (F) and displacement (s). Work done against gravity is equal to mass (m) times gravitational acceleration (g) times height (h), or mgh. There are three types of work: positive work when displacement is in the direction of force, negative work when displacement is opposite the direction of force, and zero work when there is no displacement. Energy is the ability to do work and can exist in different forms such as mechanical, heat, and electrical energy. Mechanical energy includes kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion and equals 1/2mv^2, and potential energy
