The work energy theorem says that the total change in energy (work) of an object can be calculated by determining the change in an object's kinetic energy.
Work also equals negative change in potential energy for conservative forces

What is an object's total mechanical energy?
Back
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy (basically, the usable energy).
