How could you use the law of conservation of energy to describe his trip down the mountain?

The potential energy present in a vehicle at the pot of a mountain gets turned into kinetic energy as the vehicle travels down the mountain. Eventually that kinetic energy is dispersed as friction turns it into heat.


Why is the conservation of energy so important?

the conservation of energy is important becasue we could cause the earth to be dry and rainy that could ruin the planters and buildings

How do you make project on conservation of energy?

You could select a basic scenario to show, using Sankey diagrams that no energy has been lost. For example you could use the simple example of a bulb tuning electrical energy into useful light energy and wasted heat energy.


What scientist who described the law of conservation of energy is?

The Law of Conservation of Energy is not the work of a single scientist. The knowledge about this law developed gradually over several centuries, as more and more types of energy were recognized to be equivalent. For example, at some moment somebody recognized that kinetic energy could be converted into potential energy and vice versa, and at another moment, somebody else recognized that mechanical energy could be converted to heat energy at a fixed ratio.


Is there any objection on law of conservation of energy?

i think there is no objection .if it goes any where wrong i could achive success in my project


How does perpetual motion machine fits the principal of conservation of energy?

Perpetual motion would only fit the principle of the conservation of energy if it was a machine that moved that did not have any friction or produce any sound or produce any form of heat or energy that could be lost in any way. Since no such machine is possible to create, as far as we know, perpetual motion is declared an impossibility and does NOT fit the principle of the conservation of energy. Energy will undoubtedly be lost somewhere in a moving system.
