COOL FACTS ABOUT MECHANICAL ENERGY

Every object in motion contains mechanical energy

A wreaking ball and a bird all contain mechanical energy

If an object contains mechanical energy then it has the ability to do work

Mechanical Energy Facts

The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its energy in motion and its stored motion. This means it is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. Although the kinetic and potential energy of an object can change, its mechanical energy remains constant. This is because kinetic and potential energy change proportionately.

How its made

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy(potential energy+kinetic energy=mechanical energy).

advantages disadvantages

good=it can be converted into different energy's

bad=it has to have movement to be created
