उत्तर
This means “The total MECHANICAL ENERGY (P.E + K.E) of an isolated system at any instant is equal to the sum of kinetic ENERGYand the potential ENERGY.”
Condition : Condition under which the mechanical energy is conserved is “WHEN THERE ARE NO FRICTIONAL FORCES.” In other words the mechanical energy is conserved strictly in vacuum where friction due to air is absent.
