  1. Mechanical Energy By: jes Starke , and Thomas Ritter

  2. Mechanical Energy • Is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or position---in other words, it is the object’s combined potential energy and kinetic energy. A thrown baseball has mechanical energy as a result of both its motion (kinetic energy) and its position above the ground (gravitational potential energy). Any object that has mechanical energy can do work on another object.

  3. More information • Mechanical kinetic energy exists because of the relative velocities of two or more objects. • Mechanical energy uses both kinetic and potential energy.
