C) Total Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

The total energy of a system (also called mechanical energy) is given by:

[tex]E=PE+KE[/tex]

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

The two types of energy have a different origin:

  • Potential energy (PE) is the energy possessed by an object due to its position. It is commonly in the form of gravitational potential energy, which is the energy due to the position of the object in the gravitational field, defined as:

[tex]PE=mgh[/tex]

where m is the mass of the system, g the acceleration of gravity, h the heigth of the object relative to the ground

  • Kinetic energy (KE), which is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is calculated as

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where m is the mass of the system and v is its speed.
