Kinetic energy is a form of energy that comes from motion. Therefore any moving object (that has a mass!) has kinetic energy. For kinetic energy to be produced, a force must act upon an object to give it an acceleration, to put it in motion. The simplest case is the conversion of potentiel energy to kinetic energy. When an object is far from its "normal" standing position (in this case the ground), it is said to have potential energy. When this object is attracted by the force of gravity, its potential energy is slowly converting into kinetic energy because the objet keeps on accelerating.

What type of energy is formed when a sledge and it's passengers are sliding down a slope starting from rest?

The energy formed in this scenario is kinetic energy. As the sledge and passengers slide down the slope, their potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

HOW IS mechanical energy formed?

Mechanical energy is formed through the combination of potential energy (stored energy) and kinetic energy (energy due to motion). When an object moves, its kinetic energy increases, and when it is lifted against gravity, its potential energy increases. The sum of these two forms of energy gives the object its mechanical energy.
