Mechanical energy is the energy of work. Back in the olden days, brave inventors used steam to power turbines, or used water to turn wheels in a river. These are examples of putting mechanical energy to work. The gears inside a wind up clock need mechanical energy to function.

There are two main types of mechanical energy. They are motion energy and stored mechanical energy. Motion energy: This is the energy something has because it is moving (eg a speeding cricket ball). You can feel the effect of this energy if the cricket ball hits you.

Let's consider the two stored forms of mechanical energy. Mechanical POTENTIAL energy exists because of the relative positions of two or more objects. For example, a rock resting on the edge of a cliff in such a position that it will fall freely if pushed has mechanical potential energy.
