Answer:
Mechanical energy = 145 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Kinetic energy = 115J
Gravitational Potential energy = 30J
To find the mechanical energy;
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy
Substituting into the equation, we have
Mechanical energy = 115 + 30
<em>Mechanical energy = 145 Joules. </em>
Mechanical energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of mechanical energy are;
<em>a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.</em>
<em>b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.</em>
'Climatic variations' and 'Human activities' can be regarded as the two main causes of desertification. removal of the natural vegetation cover(by taking too much fuel wood), agricultural activities in the vulnerable ecosystems of arid and semi-arid areas, which are thus strained beyond their capacity.
