Total mechanical energy of a system

Mechanical energy is the total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy of an object that is used to do a specific work. Mechanical energy can also be defined as the energy of an element due to its position or motion or both. The potential energy of an object is due to its position and kinetic energy is due to its motion. The potential energy of an object is zero when it is in the movement and kinetic energy is zero when the object is in rest.

Example of total mechanical energy of a system

As the pendulum swings back and forth, a constant exchange between the kinetic energy and potential energy takes place. When the bob attains its maximum height, the potential energy of the system is the highest, whereas the kinetic energy is zero. At the mean position, the kinetic energy is the highest, and the potential energy is zero. Between these two extreme points, we see that the system possesses both kinetic and potential energy, the sum of which is constant. These observations tell us a lot about the conservation of mechanical energy.
