Solution

The correct option is A True
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) in an object that is used to do a particular work.
In other words, it describes the energy of an object because of its motion or position, or both.
$M . E = K . E + P . E$
Hence, the above statement is true.
