define mechanical energy.explain kinetic and mechanical energy with the help of an example
Answers
Answer:
Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion (kinetic energy).

Mechanical Energy
The energy of an object due to its motion or position; the sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy.
Si unit
The joule (J) is the SI (International System) unit used to measure mechanical energy.
Formula
M.E = K.E + P.E
M.E = ½ mv² + mgh
Examples
Listening to music .
Typing on a keyboard .
Kinetic Energy
The energy possessed by a body because of its motion is called its kinetic energy.
