Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Question}$

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its ----- energy.

$\huge\mathfrak\purple{Answer}$

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its mechanical energy.

k.e. + p.e. = Mechanical Energy

Answer 2

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its mechanical energy

• Potential energy is defined as the stored energy of any object or system by its arrangements in parts.
• Again, kinetic energy is defined as the energy of an object or a system the particles of which are in motion.
• Hence the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its mechanical energy.
