If only internal forces are doing work (no work done by external forces), then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved.

Q. Does a roller coaster have mechanical energy?
They make each hill that follows smaller to compensate for this decrease in mechanical energy. Eventually the roller coaster changes most of its mechanical energy and is able to come to a safe stop. Mechanical energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion or position.
Q. How does a roller coaster lose energy?
When the roller coaster starts flying down the hill, it gains kinetic energy and loses potential energy. At the bottom of the lift hill, the train’s kinetic energy is at the highest point it’ll be on the track, enough to push it through the succession of smaller hills and turns.
Q. Where is the highest potential energy?
The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds.
Q. What is the potential energy of a rock that weighs 100 newtons that sits on a hill 300 meters high?
Answer. Answer: answer is 30000J. PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST AND THANK ME.
Q. What 3 factors affect potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy is determined by three factors: mass, gravity, and height.
Q. When you bounce a ball eventually it will stop bouncing Where does the energy go?
When a basketball bounces (without being pushed down), it does not go all the way back up to its original height, as shown in Figure 2 below. This is because the basketball had an inelastic collision with the ground. After a few bounces, it stops bouncing completely. The energy has left the ball!
Q. Why does a ball not bounce as high each time?
The reason it doesn’t bounce higher than where it started is simple: some of the ball’s energy is lost as heat when it bounces, so it doesn’t have as much going up as it did coming down. Knowing that, you might figure that a ball could never bounce higher than the height from which is was dropped.
Q. What affects the bounce of a ball?
The combination of the material properties of a ball (surface textures, actual materials, amount of air, hardness/ softness, and so on) affects the height of its bounce.
Q. How does the drop height of a ball affect bounce?
When you drop a ball from a greater height, it has more kinetic energy just before it hits the floor and stores more energy during the bounce—it dents farther as it comes to a stop.
