Find out the form of Mechanical energy in he object.
Kinetic energy is measured with velocity
Vibration energy measured by amplitude and frequency of vibration.
Datum energy is measured by height of the object from ground.
Hence it depends on the type of the energy.

How would you calculate on object's mechanical energy?
You have to use a method of absorbing the energy, and measuring what has been absorbed. For example engines are tested using a dynamometer, which can measure the force exerted and the rate of working of the engine. A simple analogy would be with the fairground game where you slam a hammer down onto some sort of pivot which raises a weight, the height it goes to indicates the energy put into the blow. So its a matter of making such a test more accurate and scientific.
What object in a classroom changes electrical energy into mechanical energy?
Basically any device that needs to be plugged in so it could move would be an object that endures the transformation from mechanical to electrical energy. Those classroom objects could be a fan or a pencil sharpener.
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.
Is mechanical energy the energy of movement?
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
What is potential energy called that is associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed?
For materials such as rubber I would call it elastic energy. For compressed gases I would just call it mechanical energy-the compressed gas exerts a force which would move a piston against another force, and that constitutes work.
What is a non example of mechanical energy?
Since mechanical energy is based on an objects potential and kinetic energy, it would be anything that moves without something forcing it too.

How would you calculate an objects gravitational potential energy?
Multiply its weight by its height.
What will happen if mechanical energy suddenly disappears?
It doesn't quite make sense for that to happen. Obviously it doesn't make sense from the point of view of energy conservation. Also, mechanical energy consists of kinetic energy - so all objects would suddenly have to stop moving. Mechanical energy also consists of potential energy (including gravitational potential energy), so all objects would suddenly have to be at the lowest possible gravitational potential - presumably, all objects in the Universe would have to come together into a black hole or something like that.

How would you find the total energy of a body executing simple harmonic motion?
Usually you would want to find only the total MECHANICAL energy. This is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Due to conservation of mechanical energy (this assumes there is no friction), you can calculate the kinetic and the potential energy separately at any point of the movement, and then add them up. For example, at the extremes, when the body's instantaneous velocity is zero, you would only need to calculate the potential energy.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.

If there is no gravity Does potential energy of objects still exit Mechanical energy is produced by force. Gravity is a special force which is unlimited.Potential energy of objects is unlimited.?
If you leave earths gravitational field (sufficiently), objects will have a very negligible gravitational potential energy. You can consider it zero. But what if it were a compressed spring that you brought out into 'deep space'? It would still retain elastic potential energy. A bomb in deep space would still have explosive(?) potential energy. With that said, if you had two or more objects in deep space, they would have gravitational potential energy between the group of them, but not the earth.
