What are some examples of mechanical energy in the kitchen?

Mechanical Energy in the kitchen is literally everywhere. The easiest form of observable mechanical energy is kinetic energy (KE). KE is seen in any event involved with motion. A second form of KE is Rotational KE. Rotational KE is observed in events that have rotation. read more

Some examples of mechanical energy are a hammer, a bowling ball, a drawn bow and arrow and a moving volleyball. Mechanical energy is defined as the energy an object has either due to its motion or its stored energy of position. read more

Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy(stored energy of position). Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). read more
