Introduction to Mechanical Energy

The video tutorial introduces the concept of motion and its relation to energy. It explains that when objects are in motion, they possess mechanical energy, which is a form of energy associated with motion. The tutorial provides examples of mechanical energy in animals, ocean waves, and machines. It further introduces kinetic energy as a specific type of mechanical energy, emphasizing its role as the energy of motion.
