    The text discusses concepts related to conservation of energy including calculations of potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, velocity and height for different objects and scenarios.

    Examples given include calculating these energies for a skater, ball and roller coaster at various points/locations.

    To calculate potential energy, kinetic energy and mechanical energy, you need the mass of the object, its height or speed, and the formulas KE = 1/2mv^2, PE = mgh, and ME = KE + PE.
