I'm having zero luck finding out details about how Mercury can transfer kinetic energy.

Any Details are fine. Math is better.

Does it transfer Kinetic energy well?

Context please? If I toss a bottle of mercury against a billiard ball, the ball will move.
 
But what if you throw the bottle of mercury to the ground on the planet Mercury, causing energy transfer from mercury to Mercury?
