⚫its S.I. unit is joule(J).
⚫there are two kinds of mechanical energy :-

➡POTENTIAL ENERGY :-
⚫It is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its changed position from a reference level.
⚫unit - its SI unit is joule(J).
⚫formulation- PE of a body of mass m at a height h from the surface of eath is, mgh. (g is earths acceleration due to gravity).

➡KINETIC ENERGY :-
⚫ it is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.
⚫unit - its unit is also Joule(J).
⚫formulation- KE of a body of mass m moving with speed v will be, (1/2)mv2.
