Energy transfer occurs when an object exerts force on another object, allowing energy to be transferred from the former to the latter. This transfer of energy enables the second object to move and perform work.

The object that does the work loses energy as it transfers it to another object. This loss of energy is often in the form of kinetic energy or other forms depending on the type of work being done.

Pressing a balloon hard increases the internal pressure beyond its elastic limit, causing it to burst. The sudden release of stored energy in the form of kinetic energy results in the explosion, illustrating the capability of objects with energy to ...

Gently pressing a balloon compresses the air inside, storing elastic potential energy. When the force is withdrawn, the stored energy allows the balloon to return to its original shape, demonstrating its capability to do work in the process.

An object possessing energy has the capability to do work. Energy enables an object to exert force on another object, facilitating the transfer of energy and the potential for work to be done.
