* Mechanical Energy: Mechanical energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion or position. It includes two forms:
* Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion. The flying disk is moving, so it has kinetic energy.
* Potential Energy: Energy stored due to position or configuration. While the disk is in the air, it also has a bit of gravitational potential energy due to its height.
* Non-Mechanical Energy: This includes forms of energy like heat, light, sound, and chemical energy.
Since the flying disk's motion and position directly contribute to its energy, it falls under the category of mechanical energy.
