If you mean energy, then it would be mechanic.
There is also elastic energy which is also considered in mechanic energy.

What is the connection between kinetic energy and potential energy?
When potential energy and kinetic energy are combined it is called mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).
Can an object have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time?
a body cannot have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time because, a moving body can only possess kinetic energy at a time, but potential energy is one possessed by a body with respect to its possition.
When a book falls to the floor what happens to the potential energy?
When you drop a book the original potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy, When the book hits bottom the kinetic energy is absorbed by the surface underneath and some is converted to sound energy. This maintains the law of conservation of energy. the total amount of energy in this universe is constant and remains constant. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can just change its form from one form to another.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
What energy that is the total amount of kinetic and potential energy?
well the sum of potential and kinetic energy must equal zero because if a body is at rest initially it possess potential energy but when it gets into motion all those potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, Basically kinetic energy is a result of potential energy. Answer2: The sum of potential energy and Kinetic energy is quaternion energy. kinetic energy is vector energy and potential energy is scalar energy. The sum of a scalar and a vector is a quaternion. William Rowan Hamilton discovered this in 1843. Currently Physics does not recognize kinetic energy as a vector. The sum of gravitational potential and kinetic energy is E = -mMG/r + mcV where mcV is the kinetic/vector energy. This vector energy is the source of "dark energy". It is also the reason the Cosmos is in equilibrium (not contracting), in that it balances the gravitational force of attraction with mcDel.V, the centrifugal force of expansion. The centrifugal force is the divergence force from a vector, the kinetic energy mcV, a vector energy.
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is know as?
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is thermal energy.
The thermal energy of an object is?
The total kinetic and potential energy of its particles.
What is an objects total and potential energy?
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
Which type of energy is total kinetic and potential energy particles in an object?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
What do the sentence mean an object's total kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is stored in an object when you apply force to it, lifting it, for example. That energy stays in the object as potential energy until it is released when you drop the object.
WHAT IS AN OBJECT TOTAL KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY?
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
What energy is the total of the kinetic energy and potential energy in an object?
Thermal energy
The total potential and kinetic energy of all microscopic particles in an object make up its?
The total potential and kinetic energy of a MICROSCOPIC object is it's INTERNAL ENERGY.
Is an objects total kinetic and potential energy?
both depends on the size of the mass of the object
What is the total potential and kinetic energy of all microscopic particles in an object?
Internal energy
What is the total of potential and kinetic energy of an object?
In microscopic particles, it's called internal energy. In macroscopic object it's called thermodynamic energy
Why do particles have potential and kinetic energy?
Yes, as this equation makes it possible E=mc^2 . ------------> mass energy is different from potential energy An object has kinetic and potential energy (such as a falling apple) because commonly kinetic energy is converted to potential energy and vice versa due to conservation of energy. The sum of kinetic and potential energy needs to be taken for the total energy of the object.
