What about it?

acceleration applied over a distance

Makes sense.

>> No.5610505

a joule is a newton meter aka force over a distance

force is a mass experiencing acceleration in a direction (not necessarily net)

therefore work is a mass experiencing acceleration over a distance

mass-area per second per second
mass acceleration distance
force per second

The weird thing about units is that you can choose to interpret them any way you want, and it's physically "correct."

I think you mean force metres friend-o

woops, force per second is wrong... whatever
