That's power.
P = FS (theta)/T; where F is force, S is distance, T is time, and theta is the angle between F and S.

vector, power= work/time and work= force * distance, force is vector.
Force times distance is called "Work" for the purposes of physics.
At each end, (the force) x (the distance) defines the quantity of work, or energy. They're known to be equal because of the law of conservation of energy.
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.
A vector quantity refers to a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Some examples of vector quantities include velocity (speed and direction), force (magnitude and direction), and displacement (distance and direction).
