Energy an object has because of its motion or position.
A combination of kinetic and potential energy resulting from the force of gravity and/or the movement or release of a machine component, such as a spring, clamp, or wheel.
The total mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy.

What is the energy conversion in car engine?
Chemical (gas) to thermal (combustion) to mechanical More Simply: Chemical Energy to Mechanical Energy
What are similarities and dissimilarities between a motor and an electric generator?
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. While an electrical generator does the opposite.
Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.
