Learn about mechanical energy and its two forms: potential (due to position) and kinetic (due to motion). Total mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.

Energy comes in many different forms. • Mechanical energy is one form. There are two kinds of mechanical energy: • potential (because of position) and • Kinetic (because of motion)
The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
