Question

What is meant by mechanical energy? Explain in detail

Answer 1

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its position. Well, that seems simple enough, but what is energy? Energy is the ability to do work, where work is the movement of an object when a force is applied to it. For example, a person doing push-ups is doing work by applying force to the floor. Since the floor doesn't typically move, the person will move away from the floor. That same person could apply a force to a book and move it over his or her head. In each case, work is done when the applied force causes an object to move.

Answer 2

Hey Friend
Your answer is.....

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy that is used to do work. When work is done in an object, the object gains energy. The energy acquired by the object upon which work is done is Mechanical. It can be either Kinetic or Potential energy.
