Answer:

word missing in your sentence is "Mechanical"

Step-by-step explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body is defined as the sum of kinetic energy plus potential energies.

The kinetic energy due to the movement and depends on the velocity squared

Potential energy is a configuration energy and the relative position of the body depends on another arbitrary point where this energy is taken as zero

Therefore the word missing in your sentence is "Mechanical"
