Question
The great Roman Poet, Lucretius wrote, " Things cannot be born from nothing, cannot when begottend brought back to nothing." This statement became an accepted theory as a result of the work of the chemist, Lavoisier in the 18th centurary. This is the law of conservation of matter. Simiarly, the law of conservation of energy is an important law in physics. Can you discuss the validity of the conservation of energy in terms of potential (gravitational or elastic) and kinteic energy by giving real-life applications?
Explanation / Answer
see a real life example for conservation of energy is
a ball falling from a building
the total mechanical energy is sum of =kinetic energy +gravitational potential energy
at different periods of time and height
the K.E. and G.P.E. is changing but their sum is always constant
thus energy is conserved always
pls rate first with 5 star first otherwise i wont get points, thanks alot
