How is throwing a football mechanical energy?

Answer 1

First of all it's kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is when something is in motion. The football would be in motion when it is in the air. It would also have potential energy. Potential energy is when an item is about to have kinetic energy, or when your about to throw the ball.

Answer 2

Throwing a football is considered mechanical energy because it is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.

Mechanical energy is when something is in motion.
