Answer 2

The type of energy is mechanical.

Mechanical energy is referred to as the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy of object due to its position. Kinetic energy is the energy of object due to its motion.

Kinetic energy is represented as - 1/2m*v² and potential energy is represented as m*g*h. In these formula, m refers to mass of object, v is the velocity of object, g is acceleration due to gravity, h refers to height.
