potential energy
Motion: kinetic energy. Position: potential energy.
Mechanical Energy
PE in physics is Potential Energy which means: energy an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object. KE in physics is Kinetic Energy which means: the energy of an object that is due to the object's motion.
Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Potential energy is energy of position, or stored energy.

Motion: kinetic energy. Position: potential energy.
Mechanical energy is kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Potential energy is energy of position, or stored energy.
Mechanical Energy
Because the definition of "kinetic" energy is the Energy of [atomic] motion.
If the object is moving, it's kinetic energy, if the object for instance is at the top of a slide it's potential energy.
No it's due to motion
No. Potential energy is energy due to an object's position in space. It has nothing to do with its motion.
