No. Potential energy relates to an objects position on the earth, specifically it's altitude. Mechanical energy is a form of kinetic energy but it can occasionally be considered "work done" in a more general sense

∙ 16y agoActually its the other way around, potential energy is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic and potential energy.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agopotential energy is also the stored energy. it is the energy of the things that are not moving. mechanical energy is the energy used by things runned by machines like washing machines etc...
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoi would think because mechanical is movement and that's what kinetic energy is
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, because mechanical energy is a form of Kinetic energy, which is the energy of movement!
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoMechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoThis question needs to be stated properly in order to be answered.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoMechanical energy is DEFINED to be the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoIt can be both potential and kinetic.

What would happen if there were no mechanical energy?
If there were no mechanical energy, there would be no movement and so no life exists.
Why is sound consider as mechanical form of energy?
Because sound is the movement/vibration of air, which is mechanical motion, involving mechanical energy.
What is a form of energy that results from movement of machine parts?
Mechanical energy.
What is a form of energy that results from the movement of machine parts?
Mechanical energy.
What energy involves movement?
it goes from radiant energy from the sun down to earth and the plants take it in and store it as chemical energy so when you eat the plant your body turns it into mechanical energy so that you can move around. You are using mechanical energy for movement
Why electricfan is an mechanical energy?
An electric fan is not "an mechanical energy". An electric fan converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (the movement of the fan blades, and hence, the movement of the air).
What would happen if there were no mechanical energy?
If there were no mechanical energy, there would be no movement and so no life exists.
What is the energy an object has because of its movement or position?
Mechanical Energy
If an object's mechanical energy can primarily be attributed to the object's position or movement what forms of energy are included in mechanical energy?
The mechanical energy is defined to be the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
Why is sound consider as mechanical form of energy?
Because sound is the movement/vibration of air, which is mechanical motion, involving mechanical energy.
What is mecanical energy?
I read that mechanical energy is energy created by movement or rotation.
What is a form of energy that results from the movement of machine parts?
Mechanical energy.
What is a form of energy that results from movement of machine parts?
Mechanical energy.
What is needed to create mechanical energy?
This energy can be formed either from kinetic/movement energy or potential energy
A form of energy that results from the movement of machine parts?
Mechanical
What energy involves movement?
it goes from radiant energy from the sun down to earth and the plants take it in and store it as chemical energy so when you eat the plant your body turns it into mechanical energy so that you can move around. You are using mechanical energy for movement
Which energy conversion is involved in breaking down glucose to provide energy for movement?
chemical energy to mechanical energy
