What are the Different Mechanical Energy Examples?
Mechanical energy is energy that comes from any mechanical system; it is usually involved with physical motion and work. Examples include falling weights, the Earth’s rotation, pendulums and flowing water. Mechanical energy is the sum of two forms of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. Potential energy is energy that comes from the position of an object or the configuration of parts of a system; it has yet to be converted to any specific kind of energy. Kinetic energy is energy that exists because of the motion of an object or of the objects in a system.
