How is mechanical energy calculated?

The energy acquired by the objects upon which work is done is known as mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position). read more

The potential energy can otherwise be calculated from its definition; the value of potential energy at a point in space is equal to the negative of the Work needed to bring the object to that point from an arbitrarily chosen reference point in space, which is generally chosen so that the potential energy will never be negative. read more
