Question

which statement describes mechanical energy? the energy that is associated with temperature the energy that is stored in chemical bonds the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object the type of energy that is associated with electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy due to position or state) of an object. Energy associated with temperature is thermal energy, energy stored in chemical bonds is chemical energy, and energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is electromagnetic energy.

Answer:

the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object
