Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.
A common example of conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy is in a car engine where the combustion of fuel releases energy that is then converted into mechanical energy to move the vehicle.
A generator typically converts mechanical energy (from, for example, fuel combustion or wind) into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then used to power various devices or systems.
An automobile is a good example of machinery containing a mechanical energy source. The car's engine converts fuel into mechanical energy, which powers the vehicle's movement.
For the potential energy of fossil fuels to change into other forms of energy, combustion must take place. In this process, heat energy is released, which can be transformed into other forms of energy like electrical energy in power plants or mechanical energy in engines.
An example of heat energy converting to mechanical energy is a steam engine. In a steam engine, heat energy from burning fuel is used to boil water and produce steam. The expanding steam pushes against pistons, creating mechanical energy that can be used to power machinery.
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
Its a fossil fuel :)

A biogenic sedimentary rock, and a fossil fuel.
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
renewable energy, for example solar energy, hydroelectric energy and Wind Energy.
Fossil fuel is burn and release out chemical energy in the form of heat that would use to boil the water to steam and transform heat to mechanical energy to run the turbine and finally transform to electricity.
Coal for example, or any other fossil fuel
This appears to be rather a confused question. Fossil fuels have chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical energy is usually converted to thermal energy by burning the fuel. The thermal energy is used to generate steam which is used to drive turbines and so convert it to mechanical energy. Finally, the turbines generate electrical energy..I suppose it is possible to throw lumps of coal or shoot jets of oil at a rotor and so make it spin like a turbine. That is probably the only way in which mechanical energy can be obtained directly from fossil fuels.

Petroleum is a example of a fossil fuel.
