In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that in an isolated system that is only subject to conservative forces, the mechanical energy is constant.

Energy that moves things. Think of your arm grabbing a glass of water. That's a form of mechanical energy because you just moved something.
