Mechanical energy is the energy of moving objects, such as the energy that you use when you physically move something with your hand. Obviously, movement is a form of change, it constitutes a change of location or position. Often there is a change of momentum involved as well (as for example when you throw something).

In physics, energy is defined as the capacity to do work. Different forms of energy can cause change, such as chemical energy (from chemical reactions), electrical energy (from moving electrons), thermal energy (from heat), and mechanical energy (from motion), among others.

Energy does not cause motion.

Energy is just the property that something in motionhas. The best definition of energy that I can think of is:"the capacity to do work". Work can be thought of as something that you need to do to transfer your energy in your muscles into kinetic energy for the object. And so energy does not cause motion. It is the transfer of energy into an object so that it has kinetic energy, that causes the motion.

N.B.: What does cause motion then? Newton said that it was FORCE.
