In physics, Work is defined as Force acting through a Distance, or Work= Force X Distance. Which brings us to Force, which is an outside influence that changes the acceleration of an object with Mass. So, the answer to your question is, an object can perform work, but it cannot posses work. Example: your foot (an outside influence) strikes a soccer ball (an object with mass) and changes its velocity from zero to some value greater than zero (acceleration) in a particular direction. Your foot performed work on the soccer ball. 2nd example: You push on a brick wall, with all your strength, until you are exhausted, but the wall does not move. You are very tired, but you have not performed any work.

When does an object possess kinetic energy?
When it is moving.
Does a speeding missile possess force?
no, a force is not something an object has, like mass, but is part of an interaction between one object and another.
How does potential energy gain?
Elastic potential energy is gained the more it is stretched (like a catapault or rubber band) Gravitational potential energy is increased if the object is raised higher up (further away from the centre of gravity)
When can work be negative physics?
If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.
What is required to work?
You must have an energy which moves an object. If the object does not move - No work is done.
When does an object possess kinetic energy?
When it is moving.
To possess something?
When an object or item of interest becomes your property.
What is the meaning of the word possess?
The word "possess" means to own, have, or control something. It typically refers to having ownership or physical control over an object, but it can also refer to having a particular quality or characteristic.
How do pontential energy and kinectic energy compare?
object having height possess potential energy.Object having motion possess kinetic energy.
What properties should an object possess in order to conform to the concept of minerals?
Rock

An object at rest that is capable of movement can possess potential energy because of what two factors?
position or its condition
When can you say that work is done on an object?
when a force acts to move an object,we say that work was done on the object
When can work be negative physics?
If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.
How do you Construct a model of an object that possess kinetic energy?
a ball at the top of a hill has potentail energy and when it is rolled is has kinetic.
