Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.
In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind of
nonthermal energy or thermal energy.
For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.
Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring or
something similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.

Contrast Chemical energy and mechanical energy?
chemical energy is when the energy that is released when a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds. A mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of large-scale objects in a system.
Chemical energy-electrical energy- mechanical energy?
Chemical energy, electrical energy, and mechanical energy are different forms of energy.
How do the forms of potential energy kinetic energy non-mechanical also mechanical energy related to each other?
Mechanical energy comprises of both potential and kinetic energy. For example- Flying kite
Does the inside of a toaster have mechanical energy or chemical energy?
Mechanical. The conversion of electricity into heat.
What does chemical energy change into when you move?
it turns into mechanical energy
How do you calculate an objects mechanical energy?
An object's mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy it possesses.
What is the formula for calculating mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy.
Is mechanical energy a from of potential energy?
actually, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. :)
Is mechanical a form of patential?
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What is the sum of potential and and Kinetic energy?
Internal energy at the microscopic level and thermodynamic or mechanical energy at the macroscopic level. According to conservation of energy the sum of kinetic and potential energy is zero.
Mechanical energy to energy?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.
