What is the definition of mechanique energy?

well, it's not heat energy (energy in the form of heat, like energy from a light bulb or from the sun)

Definitions of potential energy on the Web:\n\n    * The energy stored in a raised object (eg the weights in a grandfather clock). Potential energy equals mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the vertical distance from a reference location. It is called potential energy because the energy can be regained when the object is lowered. This type of potential energy is sometimes called gravitational potential energy in order to distinguish it from elastic potential energy: see elastic energy.\n      http://urban.arch.virginia.edu/~km6e/references/glossary/struc-glossary.html\n\n    * energy stored in an object due to its position\n      http://whyfiles.larc.nasa.gov/text/kids/Problem_Board/problems/pulleys/glossary.html\n\n    * The energy which a body possesses as a consequence of it's position in the field of gravity, the work required to bring the body up against gravity from a standard level.\n      http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/oakfield/keyterms.htm\n\n    * Energy related to the position or height above a place to which fluid could possibly flow.\n      http://www.flw.com/define_p.htm\n\n    * The energy that matter has because of its position or because of the arrangement of atoms or parts.\n      http://www.nmlites.org/standards/science/glossary_4.htm\n\n    * Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its height above the ground. The amount of potential energy possessed by an object depends on its mass and its height. A roller coaster car is initially hauled by a motor and chain system to the top of a tall hill, giving it a large quantity of potential energy.\n      http://www.learner.org/exhibits/parkphysics/glossary.html

Energy can be classified as either stored (potential) energy and working (kinetic) energy.\nPotential Energy = the energy that an object has as the result of its position or state.\nKinetic Energy = the energy that appears in the form of an object’s motion. KE = 1/2mv2

Maybe this can help...all you have to do is a search in Yahoo or Google...\n\nhttp://www.think-energy.com/ThinkEnergy/11-14/activities/EnergyTrans.aspx\n\nTry searching for "energy" or "kinetic energy"

Potential Energy: Energy due to position.\nKinetic Energy: Energy due to motion.\n\n======================================================\nAs the ball moves up it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy. It the maximum height, it has all potential energy and no kinetic energy. As it moves down, it loses potental energy and gains kinetic energy. When it hits the floor it's velocity (ideally) remains the same in magnitude but reverses in direction. It starts moving up again.....\n\nWork is the process of conversion of energy from one for to the other. So, work is being done as the ball bounces up and down.

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion and potential energy is energy due to position in a force field.  The formula for translational kinetic energy is KE = 0.5*m*v^2, where m is mass and v is velocity.  The most common type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, and near the surface of the Earth (or some other planetary body) the formula is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the surface.  Another common one is elastic potential energy in a compressed spring.  In that case the formula is PE = 0.5*k*x^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the compression.  An object can also have electrical potential energy, if it has an electrical charge and is positioned some distance from another charge.

kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in virtue of its motion\npotential energy is for example the energy of water \nat the top of a waterfall before it is\nconverted to kinetic energy after it goes\nover the edge of the waterfall\ngravitational energy is the potential \nenergy possessed by a body\nby virtue of its height above sea level \nan example of this is the space shuttle \nusing the frictional resistance of the \natmosphere to convert the gravitational\nand kinetic energy into heat in order to land\n\ni hope that this helps

The potential energy of a system is the energy which was spent to constitute the system from bringing its constituents closer\nto each other against the forces among them and this energy is stored in the syetem. The same way the interatomic energy is \nthe enrgy which was spent to bring the atoms closer against the vanderwaal forces.

The most common devices used to convert heat energy to mechanical energy are engines, including steam engines, gasoline engines, etc. If you would like to learn more, I would suggest doing some research on the topic of thermodynamics, which includes the study of heat energy and its conversion to mechanical energy.

The short answer is that mechanical energy involves motion of a mechanism as opposed to electrical, chemical, nuclear, heat, and light energy, etc.  As such, it exists in two forms; potential and kinetic energy.  Potential energy is energy of position.  For example, it takes mechanical energy to lift a 100 pound weight one foot (100 ft-lbs of energy) and the system can give up the same amount of energy (less friction) returning to its original position.  Compressing a spring or even gas in a cylinder can also store potential energy that can be returned.  Kinetic energy is energy of motion (1/2mv**2 i.e., one half the mass times the velocity squared).  Energy (including mechanical energy) can be converted to other forms.  For example if you lift one pound of water 778 feet (778 ft-lbs), its potential energy can be converted by dropping it back to ground.  Before release it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.  Just before it splatters, it has minimum potential energy and maximum kinetic energy.  Upon splattering, the kinetic energy of the whole mass is converted to kinetic energy of the molecules and the mass heats up one degree F.  Kinetic energy oof motion can also be stored in a rotating flywheel.

Matter is something which has weight and occupy space but energy is a medium which cause a matter to do work.

The second law states that each time energy is used, the quality of that energy is decreased.\nSo the technically the energy is there, but it is in a form that cannot be utilised (just yet).

Energy can not be created or destroyed, it just changes into a different form.  Usually sound waves mechanically vibrate objects, sometimes transferring the energy into kinetic energy, sometimes it is reflected or absorbed and ultimately results in heat, which is a form of mechanical vibration.

Size or Mass is directly proportional to energy or power\nFor example :\nPotential Energy - mgh where m stands for mass\nKinetic Energy - 0.5mv^2 where m stands for mass
