Mechanical energy is made up of potential energy and kinetic energy.

- Potential energy: stored energy due to position or configuration (e.g., a stretched spring, raised object).
- Kinetic energy: energy of motion.

"Chemical" and "battery" are forms of stored energy (chemical energy) but not mechanical energy by themselves (they can be converted into mechanical energy). "Pushing" is an action/force, not a type of energy.
