No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.

What is the total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy in a system?
Internal energy at the microscopic level and thermodynamic or mechanical energy at the macroscopic level.
Does the water stored behind a dam have kinetic energy before it is released?
Yes, water stored in a reservoir is an example of potential energy. Potential energy is defined as Energystored within a physical system as a result of the position or configuration of the different parts of that system. It has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as Kinetic_energy, and to do Work_(physics) in the process. The water is stored in the reservoir and can be used to generate electricity.
How do the various forms of energy differ?
Energy can either be "potential" energy or "kinetic" energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored in some system: a stretched rubber band, a book sitting on a table, or the chemical bonds in the wax of a candle. Kinetic energy is energy that is moving, and generally comes from the release of potential energy, such as letting go of the rubber band, the book falling off the table, or lighting the candle.
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in a system is called its?
The Hamiltonian.
What is the definition of machanical energy?
it is the energy acquired by the object upon which work is doneORenergy an object has because of its motion or positionORthe sum of kinetic and potential energy present at the same timeMechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.All energy can be expressed in Joules (including thermal energy). Mechanical energy is the result of a mechanical force, expressed in Newtons, multiplied by a distance in meters.MovementThe form of energy associated with the motion, position, or shape of an objects is called mechanical energy.
Is elastic energy the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
no
What kinds of energy does the internal energy of a system include?
There are different types of potential energy; this includes: elastic energy; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
What is total energy in the case of vibrating mass-spring system?
That would be the sum of kinetic energy (due to movement) and potential (elastic) energy (stored in the spring).
What is the combined total of kinetic and potential of an object?
If you mean energy, then it would be mechanic. There is also elastic energy which is also considered in mechanic energy.
What energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system of objects?
The sum of the potential and kinetic energy of large-scale objects in a system is the Hamiltonian.
When does a bouncy ball has least potential energy?
Right before it hits the ground and right after it bounces back up.Potential energy is "stored energy;" the the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. If an object is moving very fact, it has kinetic energy, but if an object is in a position where it has the potential to move fast but isn't moving or moving very slowly, the object has a lot of potential energy. A bouncy ball has a parabolic pattern (Like an upside-down U) of movement as it bounces. At the top of the parabola- when the bouncy ball is highest in the air- it has the highest potential energy because it is not moving for that instant, but has the capacity to do so. as it moves downwards, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy. By the time it is about to hit the ground, it has the greatest kinetic energy because it gains momentum, and the least potential energy. As the ball bounces back up, it loses momentum, so it is losing kinetic energy and gaining potential energy. A bouncy ball has the least potential energy right before it hits the ground and right after it begins bouncing back up.There is also an exchange of kinetic and potential energy as the ball hits the ground. Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. So, the kinetic gravitational energy (because gravity is doing the work) changes to elastic potential energy (it is not moving in any way for an instant, but has the potential to move in the sense of being squished down), and as the energy is being used to distort the shape of the ball, elastic kinetic energy. As the ball has been distorted to its maximum extent, it has more potential energy, which is transferred to kinetic as the ball first changes back to its original shape, elastic kinetic energy, and then bounces back up, when it begins to lose its kinetic energy again.
If you Add up the total kinetic energy and potential energy what does that give you?
The sum of potential and kinetic energy gives you the Mechanical Energy of the system
What is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of large scale objects in a system?
