Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.

No, energy and work are related but not the same thing. Energy refers to the ability to do work, while work is the transfer of energy from one form to another through the application of force over a distance.
The same thing as energy is the capacity to do work or cause change.
No, energy and power are not the same thing. Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat, while power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted.
No, work and kinetic energy are not the same thing. Work is the transfer of energy that results from a force acting over a distance, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Work can change an object's kinetic energy by transferring energy to or from it.
No, work and energy are not the same thing. Work is the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance, while energy is the ability to do work. Work is a way to transfer energy from one object to another.
Power and energy are not the same thing. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, while energy is the capacity to do work. In simpler terms, power is how fast energy is used or produced, while energy is the total amount available.
