1. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Work is done when a force causes an object to move, and is measured in Joules.
2. Kinetic energy depends on an object's mass and speed, and is calculated as KE=1/2mv^2. Potential energy depends on an object's mass and height, and is calculated as PE=mgh.
3. Mechanical energy is the total of an object's kinetic and potential energies, or ME=KE+PE. As an object moves, its kinetic energy increases as its potential energy decreases, keeping the total mechanical energy constant.
