Total mechanical energy Esub2 = Esub1 Conserved quantity Law of conservation, Esub2 = Esub1, KE + PE = KE + PE Principle of conservation of mechanical energy If only conservative forces are acting, the total mechanical energy of a system neither increases nor decreases in any process. It is conserved. Law of conservation of energy The total energy is neither increased nor decreased in any process.

Dissipative forces Forces that dissipate mechanical energy rather then the total energy. Power P = work/time. Measured in Watts Watt 1 W = 1 J/s
