What are the three types of mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy can be either kinetic (energy in motion) or potential (energy that is stored). The sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energy equals the object’s total mechanical energy. Other forms of energy include chemical, nuclear, electromagnetic , thermal and sound.
