A moving object’s capability to do work is directly related to its speed. An object moving faster can do more work than an identical object moving relatively slowly due to its higher kinetic energy.

The speed of a moving object directly affects its kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The greater the speed of an object, the more kinetic energy it possesses. Consequently, a faster-moving object has a greater capability to do work compared to a slower-moving object with the same mass.
