Exactly what is it that a body having energy is capable of doing?
The thing that a body having energy is capable of doing.
Answer to Problem 6RQ
The thing that a body having energy is capable of doing is work.
Explanation of Solution
Work is the quantity that can be evaluated by taking the product of the force applied to the object and the distance travelled by that object within the direction of applied force. Work is said to be done on a body when an amount of energy is transferred to that body. The energy gets transferred to the second body, from the first body. There can be many different forms of energy in which it can exist, such as electrical energy, mechanical energy, heat, and many more. When a body having a certain amount of energy have the capacity or is capable of performing work.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the thing that a body having energy is capable of doing is work.
