Mechanical energy is a type of energy that is both kinetic (energy of motion) and potential (stored energy). It includes the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy as it moves or is positioned in a force field.

The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.


What type of energy does a ball have when it falling through the air?

When a ball is falling through the air, it has both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored due to the ball's position relative to the ground. As the ball falls, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


What type of energy is light kinetic or potential?

What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?

If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.

What type of energy is it when you throw a ball upward and it falls?

The ball has both potential energy when it is thrown upward (due to its position) and kinetic energy when it falls (due to its motion). As it falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
