The sum of potential and kinetic energy is the total mechanical energy of an object. This total energy remains constant in the absence of external forces, according to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy.

Mechanical Energy
The total penitential energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the gravitational potential energy of each particle. The kinetic energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the kinetic energy of each particle. The total energy of the particles is the sum of the penitential and kinetic energy.
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is known as mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the total energy of an object or system due to its position and motion.
That's correct. The total energy of a system is the sum of its potential energy (energy stored in position) and its kinetic energy (energy due to motion). This total energy remains constant if no external work is done on the system.

Total energy.
Mechanical energy
The sum of kinetic energies of molecules is the thermal energy, while the sum of potential energies is the internal energy. When considering thermal energy and internal energy together, we get the total energy or enthalpy of the substance.
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 is the sum of an object's kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy stored in its position or condition). It represents the total energy that an object possesses due to its motion and position.
