The total energy of an object is called?

Kinetic Energy is equal to 1/2mv^2.

Potential Energy is equal to mgh.

To get the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, you do the following:

1/2mv^2+mgh = Total Energy.

m represents mass in kg

v represents velocity in m/s

g represents gravity, a constant of 9.8 m/s^2

h represents height from ground in m
