Potential energy: the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass)
Mechanical energy: The sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of a body or system
law of conservation of energy: The law stating that the total amount of energy in any isolated system remains constant, and cannot be created or destroyed, although it may change forms.
