Re: Energy as ability to do work

John, to expand the discussion;

would you consider it wrong to view the center-of-mass
kinetic energy of a
rigid extensive object as being its ability to do work?

What about the object's m g h?
What about the object's Q V?

I'm not asking about those aspects; I'm only asking about the aspect
mentioned above. We can discuss m*g*h and Q*V later.
