Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Law of conservation of mechanical energy states the total mecanical energy in a system remains constant as long as the only force acting are conservative forces.
Law of conservation of mechanical energy formula
\(\large{ PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ KE_f }\) = final kinetic energy
\(\large{ PE_f }\) = final potential energy
\(\large{ KE_i }\) = initial kinetic energy
\(\large{ PE_i }\) = initial potential energy
