all wave are produced by a source but mechanical waves requires material medium to propagate it e.g is sound wave which is a mechanical wave needs material medium for it's propagation i.e material medium like air molecule,sound travels by vibration of air molecule that's why sound can't travel in a vacuum.....

What type of energy is a motor?

A motor can be used to produce both types of energy, kinetic and potential. It is not in itself a form of energy. It can produce kinetic energy by driving the wheels of a car, or it can produce potential energy by charging the battery in the same car. These are only two of a myriad of examples.Depends on the type of motor. An electric motor converts electrical energy to magnetic energy to mechanical energy. A combustion engine- like a car, converts chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy.

What type of mechanical wave needs a source of energy to produce it?

Since we are dealing with a wave in a medium, therefore energy is needed to move the mass of the medium.The source of the energy varies - an earthquake, tapping a drumskin, your vocal chords, the wind on the ocean, a violin string and so on.
