Kinetic energy is a type of mechanical energy. The formula for kinetic energy is (1/2) times mass times velocity square; so if the water has both mass and velocity, it follows that it also has kinetic energy.
Yes, a garden hose with moving water is an example of mechanical energy. The flowing water possesses kinetic energy as it moves through the hose, which is a form of mechanical energy due to its motion.
Water flowing over a waterwheel is an example of kinetic energy transforming into mechanical energy. The moving water causes the waterwheel to turn, which can then be used to perform mechanical work, such as grinding grain or generating electricity.
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
Yes. It is source of mechanical energy.

"the energy in moving things is mechanical energy. wind, moving water, and falling rocks all have mechanical energy. when you walk, run, or ride a bicyle, you are using mechanical energy. sound is a form of mechanical energy."-Concepts and Challenges in Physical Science
Mechanical energy, if it is moving then it is kinetic mechanical energy. Or if it is at the top of a hill about to fall then it is potential mechanical energy.
Wind moving water is an example of kinetic energy, as the movement of the wind transfers energy to the water. Falling rocks releasing potential energy as they move downward due to the force of gravity.
Water pump is the best example
The five forms of energy are: Mechanical energy - a moving car Thermal energy - boiling water Chemical energy - a battery Electrical energy - lightning Nuclear energy - nuclear power plant
Water, when stationary, has potential energy. When it's moving, it has kinetic energy. Take the water in a reservoir for example. held back by the dam, it has potential energy - because, although it's not doing anything, it has the 'potential' to move. When it's released to turn turbines, it has kinetic energy because it's moving.
