Question

Define mechanical energy in your own words.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in an object that is used to do a particular work. In other words, it describes the energy of an object because of its motion or position, or both. ... At the mean position, the kinetic energy is the highest, and the potential energy is zero.

Explanation:

Mechanical Energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The quantity K +V(x), is called the total mechanical energy of the system. ... The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces, doing work on it, are conservative.

Answer 2

The energy possessed by bodies on account of their position or motion or arrangement is called Mechanical Energy
