Question

how would you calculate total machanical energy of a body​

Answer 1

it describes the energy of an object because of its motion or position, or both.

If K E and P E refers to the kinetic and potential energies of a body, its mechanical energy is given by,

• M.E = K.E + P.E.
• For an object thrown upwards, its total mechanical energy is given by:
• E = ½ mv2 + mgh.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. If K E and P E refers to the kinetic and potential energies of a body, its mechanical energy is given by,

M.E = K.E + P.E.

1. For an object thrown upwards, its total mechanical energy is given by:

E = ½ mv2 + mgh.
