Mechanical Energy

Mechanical energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion or position. It’s made up of two types: kinetic energy, which is the energy of moving objects (like a rolling ball), and potential energy, which is stored energy based on an object’s position or configuration (like a stretched spring). Mechanical energy can be transformed from one form to another, such as when a falling object converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Overall, it’s the energy associated with physical systems that can do work through movement or positional changes.
