To determine the values the total mechanical energy of the
given problem we can first identify the values given
Given are:
1.
Kinetic Energy = 5.2 Joules
2.
Potential Energy = 3.5 Joules
Solution:
The formula for mechanical energy is
a.
Mechanical energy is total energy of both
kinetic and potential hence,
i.
ME = PE + KE
ii.
ME = 3.5 + 5.2
iii.
ME = 8.7 Joules
