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
When does an object have more mechanical energy than another object?
"Mechanical energy" is basically the sum of potential energy, and kinetic energy - thus, an object has more mechanical energy than another one when this sum is greater. You may just need to calculate these energies and add them up, to find out in specific cases.
Energy transfers in a washing machine?
Washing machine converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. It helps in washing the clothes.
What energy transformation occurs in a pencil sharpener?
mechanical energy
What type of energy stores energy?
potential energy because it is stored down in compression
Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.

Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.

What are four energy's?
Would you be talking about Potential or Kinetic Energy? In one case there are more than four forms of it. In potential, we have Chemical, Stored Mechanical, Nuclear and Gravitational. In kinetic, we have Electrical, Radiant, Thermal, Motion and Sound I know what the answer is it is light, heat, sound and mechanical energy!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This correction under mine is incredibly incorrect.

Does a stepper hill have more kinetic energy?
i think a stepper hill has more kinetic energy
What type of energy stores energy?
potential energy because it is stored down in compression
What is the best summary of kinetic energy?
The best summary of kinetic energy is energy of motion. Kinetic energy is only present where there is motion in an object. Friction generates more kinetic energy.
What is the formula is used to express the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy?
It would be something like:(Kinetic energy) + (Potential energy) = (constant).However, note that mechanical energy is not conserved: consider an inelastic collision, for example.Refer to the first law of thermodynamics for more information (related links below).
