What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
Give and describe the different forms of energy?
potential,kinetic,mechanical
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
What does potential energy and kinetic energy have to do with mechanical energy?
Potential and Kinetic Energy add up to produce mechanical energy.
Can an object have both mechanical and kinetic energy?
If an object has kinetic energy, then almost BY DEFINITION it has mechanical energy. "Mechanical energy" is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to potential energy how much kinetic energy does the object have?
Mechanical energy is defined as the SUM of potential energy plus kinetic energy. If all of its mechanical energy is potential energy, it follows that it has no kinetic energy.

What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
Describe the energy change of a wind up toy car as it runs down a slope?
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
Can an object have both mechanical and kinetic energy?
If an object has kinetic energy, then almost BY DEFINITION it has mechanical energy. "Mechanical energy" is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Is mechanical energy potential or kinect?
Both kinetic energy and potential energy are mechanical energy.
