Category: Mechanical Energy Formula

According to the law of conservation of mechanical energy, in a given closed system, the amount of mechanical energy remains the same. There is no change in the total energy, and it can only convert from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa. The outside external forces cannot dissipate the mechanical energy. The total…

Mechanical energy is found everywhere in the world and around us. Any object or a thing that moves or doesn’t move consists of some of the other forms of mechanical energy in it. The mechanical energy comes from the position as well as the speed of the moving object. The two energies, that is, kinetic…

The energy can never be created or destroyed, rather converted and transferred. Any kind of energy that is transferred if it causes an object or thing to move is an example of the conversion of energy. Below are some of the examples of how various kinds of energy are converted into mechanical energy: On the…

The stored energy that the body has when it is not in motion is defined as potential energy.  The types of potential energy can be classified into gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. e.g: A ball resting in its position. The four kinds of kinetic energy include:

The energy that a body possesses when it is in motion is defined as kinetic energy, Irrespective of the direction of the motion (horizontal or vertical). The types of kinetic energy can be classified into vibrational kinetic energy, rotational kinetic energy, and translational kinetic energy based on its movement. e.g: Any object falling from a…

Mechanical energy refers to the total of kinetic energy and potential energy possessed by an object that is used to do a particular work. In other words, it describes the energy of an object because of its motion or position, or both. If K E and P E refers to the kinetic and potential energies…
