In elementary mechanics, gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are the two components of which category of energy?
Mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is the sum of macroscopic kinetic and potential energies. Chemical energy also involves microscopic interactions, so the question specifically concerns elementary mechanics.
