Question

define mechanical energy. write an expression for calculating it. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \bf \: solution$

It is the energy acquired by object to which work is done. Mechanical energy are of two types.

1. Kinetic energy
2. Potential energy

Kinetic energy is the energy that is in motion but the potential energy is the energy stored by object.

$\huge \red \star \: formula$

Mechanical energy = Potential energy+kinetic energy

Answer 2

Explanation:

An object's ability to do work is measured by its mechanical energy, or the sum the object's kinetic energy and potential energy. Mechanical energy is due to the position or movement of an object. The formula for mechanical energy is mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy.
