1. Which of the following is the correct definition of mechanical energy?
The energy of an object due to its motion.
The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
The sum of kinetic and potential energy.
The energy released during a chemical reaction.
2. A roller coaster is at the top of a hill. At this point, what type of energy does it primarily possess?
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Thermal energy
