1. The total amount of energy that an object possesses is called mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.<br /><br />2. The equation for kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$, where $m$ represents the mass of the object and $v$ represents its velocity. This equation shows that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.
