Question

Total mechanical energy (The sum of kinetic and potential energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Emechanical=mgh+$\frac{1}{2}$mν²

Explanation:

The equation for the total mechanical energy is:

Emechanical=Epotential+Ekinetic

In which,

Epotential=mgh; m: mass of the body, g: gravity; h: height

Ekinetic=$\frac{1}{2}$mν²; m: mass of the body, ν: velocity of the body

So,

Emechanical=mgh+$\frac{1}{2}$mν²
