Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy.

- Kinetic energy: energy of motion.
- Potential energy: stored energy due to position or configuration (e.g., gravitational or elastic).

The other items listed (atomic, electrical, chemical, mental, and the vague term "physical") are different forms or categories of energy, not the components that make up mechanical energy.
