Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy - whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy - is able to do work. That is, its mechanical energy enables that object to apply a force to another object in order to cause it to be displaced.
Thermal energy is a part of the total energy of any object. Thermal energy is related to the temperature of an object. The joule is the unit used to measure thermal energy. Unlike other forms of energy, thermal energy is difficult to convert to other forms of energy. When thermal energy is transferred from or to an object, it is called heat. Since heat is known as a process, objects cannot contain heat. Objects contain thermal energy.
