Conservation of energy
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can
only be changed from one form into another.
The Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy states that the total mechanical energy of an
isolated system (i.e. no friction or air resistance) remains constant.
