My definition is AFTER the work has been done, and its quantity gets evaluated. My formal definition of work is: W = FD x cos. of angle of deviation from the desired direction of motion. No motion in desired direction would = zero work done. Effective KE is AFTER all of the forces have been added or subtracted according to their vectors. The resultant velocity times the mass that is in motion yields the KE (in weight multiples, like pounds).
