How Is Mechanical Energy Conserved During Transfers And Transformations?
How is mechanical energy conserved during transfers and transformations?
Answer:
Conservation of Energy
The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is transformed to another, no energy is destroyed in the process.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy is the same before and after any transformation.
If you add up all the new forms of energy after a transformation, all of the original energy will be accounted for.
Example:
If you set a spinning top in motion, will the top remain in motion forever?
- No, it will not.
What happens to its energy?
Is the energy destroyed?
The energy will remain and the energy will not be destroyed.
CODE: 9.22.4.2.
