Answer:

Emechanical=mgh+
(1)/(2)mν²

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the total mechanical energy is:

Emechanical=Epotential+Ekinetic

In which,

Epotential=mgh; m: mass of the body, g: gravity; h: height

Ekinetic=
(1)/(2)mν²; m: mass of the body, ν: velocity of the body

So,

Emechanical=mgh+
(1)/(2)mν²
