The sum of a systemâ€(tm)s potential and kinetic energy. In many systems, including projectiles, pulleys, pendulums, and motion on frictionless surfaces, mechanical energy is conserved. One important type of problem in which mechanical energy is not conserved is the class of problems involving friction.
Energy provided through mechanically operated equipment.
energy in a mechanical form
energy that can be used directly to do work, either potential or kinetic.
The energy of motion that can move objects from place to place.
Mechanical energy refers to an object that is doing work by being in motion. Mechanical energy can be transformed into electrical energy or thermal energy. Examples include wind turbines and refrigerators, respectively.
The energy of moving parts, like a bike or a hand-shake.
The energy possessed by an object due to its motion (kinetic energy) or its potential energy.
The sum of kinetic and potential energy.
the energy an object has because of its motion or position and the forces acting on it.
A combination of potential and kinetic energy. A spring that is expanding and contracting back and forth has mechanical energy. See Kinetic energy, Potential energy.
The measured amount of work a body can do. In any system, the total mechanical energy equals potential energy (PE) plus kinetic energy (KE).
The energy of motion used to perform work.
In physics, mechanical energy describes the potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system.
