Which equation correctly represents the mechanical energy of a system?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for an equation that describes the mechanical energy of a system, which typically encompasses both kinetic and potential energy.

Answer

ME = 1/2mv^2 + mgh

The final answer is ME = 1/2mv^2 + mgh

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is ME = 1/2mv^2 + mgh

More Information

Mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv^2 and potential energy by mgh, where m is mass, v is velocity, and h is height.

Tips

Common mistakes include confusing kinetic and potential energy terms, and not including one of the energy components.
