The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy is never created or destroyed, or in other words, it always comes from someplace and goes someplace.For example: with a car, plants (scientists think algae) long ago stored solar energy by converting it to chemical energy in their carbon chains, which we pump out and make into gasoline. Then the engine converts the chemical energy into kinetic (motion) energy. Finally, the brakes convert the kinetic energy into heat. All of the original solar energy that fell on the original plants, long ago, is eventually converted into heat (except for what stays locked up as chemical energy).Energy Conservation is the practice of consuming energy as efficiently as possible (so no more than necessary is used). For example, using a car that goes a long way on a gallon of gasoline (or diesel, or a KWh of electricity or cubic foot of natural gas). Likewise, insulating your home and using a high-efficiency furnace and air conditioner.So, you may wonder, if according to the Law of Conservation, all energy just goes around and around, why is Energy Conservation important?The problem is that, sight now, most of the energy that we use causes a significant amount of pollution as a by-product of putting it into a usable form. The pollution is a big problem. Also, much of the energy that the U.S. uses comes from countries in the "Middle East" that the U.S. wants to have more independence from.
The energy stays stored as potential energy until it is discharged into another form of energy.
It is the Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the First Law of Thermodynamics.The concept of energy is one of the most fundamental concepts of science.This is the first law of thermodynamics and it is worth saying in several ways.(A) Energy is conserved.(That is short and accurate answer but non-scientists are not used to the word "conserved" being used in this way. But, scientists use it to mean "Stays the same" all the time.)(B) Energy can change from one form of energy to another, but energy can not be created or destroyed.(This is a fundamental law of Nature and the first law of thermodynamics, that energy of a closed system can never change. Sometimes it is said that "the total energy of the universe is always the same." )Discussion:Nature provides us with the Law of Conservation of Energy, whichever way you want to say it. It was about 400 years ago that science started to understand energy. At first it was only kinetic energy, the energy of motion, that was observed unchanged.Soon this was expanded to include gravitational potential energy. Later this expanded to other forms such as elastic potential energy, heat energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical and many other forms, including the famous "mass energy," E=mc2.How grand to know that the first law of thermodynamics says that we will never run out of energy. Alas, the second law says that Entropy is the problem and energy cannot always be used to do work.Aside: There is a big discussion in cosmology now about "dark energy." This should not be confused with the possibility that maybe energy is not conserved. The truth is that cosmologists have no idea what this "dark energy" is and it is not even a sure thing that it is energy.)
The Kinetic Energy Stays The Same
Friction and air resistance cause some of the mechanical energy of an object to change to thermal energy so the mechanical energy of the object is not destroyed. Rather, it is transformed into thermal energy. the total amount of energy always stays the same. ur welcome. you have to give me 5 bucks.
Law of Conservation of Energy.
The law of conservation of energy might apply to an energy conversion that you observe in your daily life for example if you have something on the table and you push it or move it with your arm
The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.

Energy stays Kinetic.
It very nearly stays the same. If you add a proton and an electron to hydrogen you get helium, which is just under double the weight of hydrogen. The missing mass was given off as energy.
It means that the energy demand stays the same no matter what energy source it is coming from!
This is the well-known law of mass conservation.
what happens is the mass stays the same because of the law of conservation of mass
enegry does not go any where it always stays in your body.(remember when u have the enery it can pass on to other objects u touch).
It stays constant
nothing, atoms are always moving.
