The energy possessed by an object is measured in terms of its capacity to do work. This measurement is quantified using the unit of energy called the joule (J).

Yes, any object that possesses energy has the potential to do work by exerting force on another object. The capacity to exert force and transfer energy enables objects to perform various types of work.

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 ...
