Question

Mechanical energy is a combination of ________ energy and ________ energy.

• A. Sound, Electrical
• B. Potential, Electrical
• C. Potential, Kinetic
• D. Kinetic, Light

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Potential, Kinetic

1. The total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy required to complete a specific work is called mechanical energy.
2. Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, i.e $MechanicalEnergy=Kineticenergy+potentialenergy.$
3. The SI unit of mechanical energy is $Joule\left(J\right)$.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
