The two types of potential energies that would be classified as mechanical energies are **elastic and gravitational**.
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, and both elastic potential energy (stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed) and gravitational potential energy (stored due to an object's position in a gravitational field) fall under this category.
