How do you calculate an objects mechanical energy?

An object's mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy it possesses.


If an objects mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does the object have?

Mechanical energy is defined as the SUM of potential energy plus kinetic energy. If all of its mechanical energy is potential energy, it follows that it has no kinetic energy.
