and potential energy.
• A quantity that always has the same value is called a conserved quantity.
• Notice that the result does not depend on our choice for
the origin.
• When only the force of gravity does work on a system, the total
mechanical energy of that system is conserved. This is an example of the
conservation of mechanical energy. Figure 7.3 below illustrates this
principle.
