Question

the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy. This sum is simply referred to as the total mechanical energy (abbreviated TME).

Answer 2

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object due to its motion. ... The sum of potential and kinetic energy is call mechanical energy. Energy can be transformed from one form to another (i.e. kinetic to potential) but it will always be conserved.
