| | Mechanical work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although colliding atoms do work on each other, it averages to nearly zero in bulk, so conduction is not considered to be mechanical work. | | | Work (abbreviated W) is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object. | | | For instance, in the case of "electrical work", an electric field does work on charged particles as they move through a medium. |

| | Work, Energy and Power |
| | However, there are so many mechanical problems which are solved efficiently by applying this principle that it merits separate attention as a working principle. | | | The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object. | | | This fact is referred to as the Work-Energy Principle and is often a very useful tool in mechanics problem solving. |

| | Work |
| | In almost all cases considered when studying mechanical forms of energy, when work is done on an object a force is applied to the object, and the object is displaced while this force is acting upon it. | | | Therefore work is being done on the object. | | | If a first object is the agent that gives energy to a second object, then the first object does work on the second object. |

| | Calculator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the near past, mechanical and clerical aids such as abacuses, comptometers, Napier's bones, books of mathematical tables, slide rules, adding machines, were used for serious numeric work, and the word "calculator" denoted a person (most often male) who did such work for a living using such aids as well as pen and paper. | | | The first mechanical calculators were mechanical desktop devices, which were soon replaced by electromechanical desktop calculators, and then by electronic devices using first thermionic valves, then transistors, then hard-wired integrated circuit logic. | | | The type is considered distinct from both a calculating machine and a computer in that the calculator is a special-purpose device that may not qualify as a Turing machine. |

| | Work (thermodynamics), a measure of the amount of mechanical work that can be extracted from a system as determined, typically, via free energy calculations. | | | Mechanical work, defined in physics as the integral of dot product of force times infinitesimal translation: | | | Work (project management), the effort applied to produce a deliverable or accomplish a task. |

| | After graduation from Tufts, Bush went to work for General Electric testing electrical equipment. | | | These were large mechanical devices that looked quite different than today's digital machines. | | | Bush also changed the way basic scientific research was done in the U.S. He proved that technology was key to winning a war and this created a new respect for scientists. |

| | Bush knew a computer connected to a global information network could solve a problem that, in 1945, barely existed yet. | | | Licklider, another influential designer of alternative computers, proudly noted the connections between Bush's vision of machine-augmented intelligence and his own research work in computer graphics, at a time when conventional computers displayed and recognized only text. | | | Bush's fans are less concerned with his failures than they are impressed by his attempt to humanize the brute force of computing - to place these machines in the service of personal and social goals. |

| | Bush believed that enhanced communication during the war effort would have helped speed-up the rate at which technological improvemnts occurred, that is, if the U.S scientist could have communicated their research to all our allies, less redundant work would have saved time. | | | The high speed electronic circuits he mentions integrated and working to perform a variety of tasks all from one unit. | | | Bush previously mentions how mechanical operations will become obsolete yet he sees mechanical machines in the future which will perform a variety of tasks. |

| | Claude Shannon (1916 - 2001) |
| | Encouraged by Bush to base his master's thesis on the logical operation of the Differential Analyser, Shannon inevitably considered ways of improving it, perhaps by using electrical circuits instead of the present cumbersome collection of mechanical parts. | | | The Differential Analyser, while a marvel of scientific engineering for its time, was a lot of hard work to maintain. | | | In the best tradition of grad students, Shannon was short of money, and happy to be recruited by his professor, Vannevar Bush, to tend Bush's unwieldy mechanical computing device - the Differential Analyser. |

| | Work Function; Fermi Energy or Fermi Level |
| | Since the energy of an electron on a conductor's surface is affected by the surface's optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, the condition of the surface of a material likewise affects its work function. | | | The work function (WF) is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove an electron from the surface of a conductor, to a point just outside the conductor where the electron has zero kinetic energy. | | | Work function is usually measured in electron-volts (eV). |

| | The Physics Classroom |
| | Whenever work is done upon an object by an external force, there will be a change in the total mechanical energy of the object. | | | There is a relationship between work and mechanical energy change. | | | If only internal forces are doing work (no work done by external forces), there is no change in total mechanical energy; the total mechanical energy is said to be "conserved." The quantitative relationship between work and the two forms of mechanical energy is expressed by the following equation: |
