height - the vertical dimension of extension; distance from the base of something to the top. tallness. dimension - the magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height) loftiness, highness - the quality of being high or lofty.
â¢ Mechanical energy is the ordered movement of the molecules as a single unit. Thermal energy is the random movement of the molecules. â¢ Mechanical energy can be 100% converted to thermal energy, but thermal energy cannot be fully converted to mechanical energy. â¢ Thermal energy cannot do work, but mechanical energy can do work. â¢ Mechanical energy has two main forms, namely kinetic energy and potential energy.
Mechanical Energy Facts. The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its energy in motion and its stored motion. This means it is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. Although the kinetic and potential energy of an object can change, its mechanical energy remains constant.he mechanical energy of an object is associated with the objects' position and motion. In a few cases, some mechanical energy is converted to heat resulting in less mechanical energy. Some machines or devices can convert heat into mechanical energy.
