Mechanical Energy
The sum of kinetic energies of molecules is the thermal energy, while the sum of potential energies is the internal energy. When considering thermal energy and internal energy together, we get the total energy or enthalpy of the substance.
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
Thermal energy is the sum of kinetic energies, while temperature is the average of these kinetic energies.
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is constant and equal to the total mechanical energy. This is a result of the conservation of energy principle, where the body's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, keeping the total energy constant.
Thermal energy A+++
Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when an object is in motion. As the object moves, kinetic energy is produced. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energies combined, reflecting the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic energy, which is energy due to motion, and its potential energy, which is energy stored in its position or shape. This total mechanical energy remains constant in the absence of external forces.
An object possesses mechanical energy when it is in motion (kinetic energy) or when it is at a height above the ground (potential energy). The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies.
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is known as mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the total energy of an object or system due to its position and motion.
Mass is the sum of energies, both kinetic and potential. As the velocity increases so does the kinetic energy of object.
The amount of energy an object has is determined by its mass and the speed at which it is moving. This energy can be in various forms such as kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (energy based on position).
The mechanical energy of the fallen apple would be the sum of its kinetic and potential energies. Therefore, its mechanical energy would be 5.2 (kinetic energy) + 3.5 (potential energy), which equals to 8.7 units.
