    Mechanical energy is the sum of macroscopic translational and rotational kinetic and potential energies. Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position; can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).

    \[E_{m-tot}=K+P\]

    Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position.
