Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy of position). It is the energy associated with the motion or position of an object due to forces acting on it. This energy can be transferred between different forms but is always conserved in a closed system.

What is mechanical energy for science?

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy stored in an object due to its position or state). It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object in a mechanical system.


Is wind considered mechanical energy?

Mechanical Energy is defined as "Energy that is the result of matter in motion." I THINK that makes wind mechanical. (Well, really, I hope it is, because that's what it says on my science project)


What branch of science involves the study of all forms of energy?

For thermal energy it is thermodynamics, for mechanical energy it would be mechanics or mechanical engineering, for electrical energy electrical engineering, and for nuclear energy, nuclear physics. There doesn't seem to be one branch of science for energy as a whole.


What are some objects that contain mechanical energy?

"the energy in moving things is mechanical energy. wind, moving water, and falling rocks all have mechanical energy. when you walk, run, or ride a bicyle, you are using mechanical energy. sound is a form of mechanical energy."-Concepts and Challenges in Physical Science
