What is the difference between force and energy?

Force is related to energy, force x distance is energy transferred because 1 N x 1 m = 1 Nm

Explanation:

If a force moves something work is done, that’s just another way of saying energy is being transferred. Indeed every energy transfer is accompanied by some force, that’s often the bit we “see” (not in atomic processes, but otherwise true.)

So #E = F xx d# is the link in principle. Later on the angles between the force and distance become important, but not yet.

see below

Explanation:

A force is any action that tends to alter the state of rest or uniform motion motion of a body. This is essentially Newton's first Law of motion.

Energy is a property of an system that is a measure of the capacity to do work.

for example Potential, kinetic .
