The sum total of potential energy and kinetic energy is ___ .

Open in App

Solution

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
For example a flying kite has both kinetic energy and potential energy.
Hence, the sum total of potential energy and kinetic energy is called mechanical energy.
