I understand that work is done when (a) a force displaces an object, (b) energy is converted from one form to another, (c) heat is transferred between a system and its surroundings, yet I have trouble giving a precise definition for it.
Everywhere I go, the definition of energy is "the ability to do work" while the definition of work is "the transfer of energy."
How can we define energy without using the word "work" and vice versa?
