What is the difference between kinetic energy potential energy and mechanical energy?

∙ 9y ago
Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be moved. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. eg. Potential energy could be like a fire extinguisher that is on the wall it has the potential to fall on the ground . An example of Kinetic energy is would be a moving car, it is in motion .

∙ 12y agoThe concept of mechanical energy can seem rather complicated and involves several layers of prior knowledge in order to really understand. Mechanical energy itself is easy to define.
The "energy of motion" is called kinetic energy; it is the energy that an object has because it's moving, like a Baseball flying through the air, a bee whizzing by, an ice skater twirling, or a model train barreling down its track. Mechanical energy is the combined energy of motion and position of an object.

Potential is stored energy. like Gravitational force is potential.
Kinetic energy is energy of Motion. Kinetic is taken from Greek word meaning "move". the energy used during work done is kinetic and stored force is Potential energy.

What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
What does potential energy and kinetic energy have to do with mechanical energy?
Potential and Kinetic Energy add up to produce mechanical energy.
Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic and?
Kinetic energy, and potential energy.
Can an object have both mechanical and kinetic energy?
If an object has kinetic energy, then almost BY DEFINITION it has mechanical energy. "Mechanical energy" is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Mechanical energy is the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of an object?

What is relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?
Both are mechanical force.
What does potential energy and kinetic energy have to do with mechanical energy?
Potential and Kinetic Energy add up to produce mechanical energy.
What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to potential energy how much kinetic energy does the object have?
Mechanical energy is defined as the SUM of potential energy plus kinetic energy. If all of its mechanical energy is potential energy, it follows that it has no kinetic energy.
