POTENTIAL ENERGY DIAGRAM In physics the terms of mechanical energy usually refers to Potential energy (U) and Kinetic Energy (K). In the absence of non-conservative‚ or dissipative forces‚ these energies obey the law of conservation of energy‚ or ΔU + ΔK = 0. That is‚ when a system is only acting under the influence of conservative forces its total energy content never changes‚ the energy just converts between forms. At any point in the cycle‚ the total energy is constant‚ U + K = Umax = Kmax
