Question

What are two forms of mechanical energy

Answer 1

a) Kinetic energy. It is a type of energy which depends on the mass and speed of a system:


`E_k = (1)/(2)mv^2`

b) Gravitational potential energy: This type of energy depends on the position (height) and mass of the system:


`E_p = m\cdot g\cdot h`

Answer 2

Hey there!

There are two different forms of mechanical energy: Kinetic energy and Potential energy.

Kinetic energy is created by an object's motion.
Potential energy is created by an object's position or its configuration.

Thank you!
