Learn by viewing, master by doing Here is a quick proof of the conservation of mechanical energy in a 1 dimensional system. Conservation of mechanical energy only exists if their are strictly conservative forces acting on the particle. If there are non conservative forces (eg friction, damping etc) then mechanical energy is not conserved because energy is leaked out or pumped into the system. Mechanical Energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
