Answer:

The answer is Energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the correct answer, we have to know the base units of the work and then we have to match with the base units of the others physics concepts.

I have attached an image that shows some base units in physics.

The concept "work" has the base units:


(Mass*Lenght^2)/(Time^2)

The other concepts have the base units:


Force=(Mass*Length)/(Time^2)\\Momentum=(Mass*Length)/(Time)\\Energy=(Mass*Length^2)/(Time^2) \\Impulse=(Mass*Length)/(Time)\\

Therefore, the concept "work" has the same base units than the concept energy.
