$\small\mathbf\orange{{ Mechanical \: Energy :}}$

Any object that is moving is using kinetic mechanical energy. Even objects that are not moving are storing potential mechanical energy. When you move something with your hand, you've transferred kinetic mechanical energy from your body to the object you are moving.

Yes, a body not in motion can possess energy. Example: Water stored in dam through not in motion possess potential energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy of an object due to its motion or position; the sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy.

Yes, a body not in motion can possess energy. Example: Water stored in dam through not in motion possess potential energy.
