Answer:
Kinetic energy : "It is the energy possessed by body by virtue of its motion" .
Explanation:
The mechanical energy is the energy that a body has due to its motion or position .
It is of two types :
- Potential energy
- Kinetic energy
Potential energy
"It is the energy that a body has due to its position or state" .
It is given by P.E=mgh
Kinetic energy
"It is the energy that a body has due to its motion" .
The formula is : K.E=1/2mv².
For example
- A ball is placed on table .
- At that time it has potential energy .
- Now,lets say that we push it and it drops down .
- On doing this ,the potential energy of ball gets converted into kinetic energy(because it comes in motion ) and as soon as it touches the ground it stops and its kinetic energy gets converted into Potential energy again .
