CONCEPT:

Potential Energy: 

  • The energy of an object obtained by doing work against the conservative forces like spring force and gravitational force is called potential energy.
  • The potential energy of an object at a height h from the ground is given as

⇒ P = mgh​

Kinetic Energy: 

  • The energy obtained by an object by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.

K is kinetic energy, v is the speed of the object, m is the mass of the object.

  • Mechanical Energy: The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is called mechanical energy.


EXPLANATION:

  • From the above, it is clear that the total mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore option 3 is correct.
