No, there is no change in entropy in a purely mechanical motion.
In a purely mechanical motion of a system, the thermodynamic parameter heat content and temperature of the system will not change. This signifies that the process is reversible. But in a reversible process the change in entropy of the system is always remains constant. Therefore, there is no change in entropy in a purely mechanical motion
