A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.

No, mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate and transmit energy. They cannot travel through a vacuum, which is why sound cannot be heard in outer space.
Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.
You are probably thinking of thermal convection and conduction.

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a medium to propagate because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy. These waves cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the mechanical energy.
Mechanical waves rely on the physical vibration of particles in a medium to transfer energy. Without a medium, such as air or water, there are no particles to transmit the energy through vibrations, so the wave cannot propagate. This is why mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Sound is mechanical energy. It is created in a number of ways, but they are all mechanical in nature. Something (a mass or some material) must move. The mechanical energy of sound is carried by the medium through which it is traveling. The mechanical energy is actually transferred into the medium through which it is going to travel. As such, sound cannot travel through the "nothing" that is space. Light is electromagnetic energy. It's like radio waves, but higher in frequency. It is a moving electric and magnetic field, both, and at the same time and at right angles from one another. It is affected by the medium through which it is traveling, but not by a vacuum. It is unaffected by a vacuum. Light and other forms of electromagnetic energy blow through the vacuum of space like there was nothing there.
Yes, mechanical waves can travel through any medium that has particles that can interact and transfer the wave energy. Examples of mediums that mechanical waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases.
First the electricity goes inside the vacuum cleaner, then the vacuum cleaner sucks the dirt right away so therefore: Electrical energy -- Mechanical Energy
A vacuum cleaner typically runs on electrical energy.
Electrical energy is transformed to mechanical energy.
