An example of law of conservation of mass is when wood is burned the gases released are part of the original mass of the wood.The air would then contain part of the mass and the ashes would contain.(this is an example of the law of conservation of mass and energy)

The Law of Conservation of Energy, also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed -- it can only change forms. If you pick up a brick, you are doing physical work which stores energy in the brick. If you let it go, the stored energy changes to kinetic (or, moving) energy as the brick falls. Another example is a candle. Its wax has stored chemical energy in the molecular bonds of its wax. When burned, this energy is released as light and heat, and the wax becomes carbon dioxide and water (steam).

Their isn't an example that doesn't involve the law of conservation of energy. But if there was one I would like to know too.

Our THOUGHTS. DISCOVERED AGES BEFORE; but needing rediscovery by modern science.

Concepts. For example, the concept of existence itself.

Consciousness. Science is yet to do serious experiments with this. Whereas, religions have come out with finished products.

JUST come out of that E=mc2 cocoon..

The list goes on. Like dreams (not the energy needed to dream), meanings, emotions, behaviours, and on.

Redshift is an indicator of the Conservation of Energy. Two examples of Conservation of energy are; the motion of an electron around the atom (quantum redshift) and the motion of a planet around the sun (gravitational redshift).

Explain the law of conservation of energy and give an example?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. An example refers to throwing a ball in air, it will come down with the left speed that it left your hand.


What is the law of conservation in your own words?

There are many different laws of conservation, but they are essentially the same. For this example I will use energy. The laws of conservation of energy say that energy in = energy out. This is to say that energy cannot be destroyed or created.


Is the food chain an example of The Law of Conservation of energy?

No.


In this example the law of conservation of energy says that the ball never loses kinetic energy?

the law of conservation of energy says that the ball will never have as much kinetic energy as it originally had

What are non examples of law of conversation of energy?

"Conversation of energy" is a good non example of 'conservation of energy'


Explain the difference between energy efficiency and energy conservation Give an example of each?

Efficiency is a measure of how completely you use energy, whereas conservation is a measure of how little energy is used. For example: A typical light bulb turns 2% of the power input into light, therefore it is 2% efficient. Not turning the light bulb on in the first place uses no power, and therefore conserves electricity.

What the different between the law of conservation of energy and conserving energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in the universe is a constant and will remain so for example ( x=y+z ). conservation of energy has to do with reducing the amount of energy used through reduced activity and/or increased efficiency in the performance of a particular task.


What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?

The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.


What is consseveration?

Conservation has two definitions that I know of in this category. One is in scientific laws like conservation of angular momentum or conservation of energy. Conservation in this sense means that that element can't be created or destroyed. Conservation of energy, for example means that energy isn't created or destroyed, but rather it changes form (like from chemical energy to heat). The other conservation is like wildlife conservation which includes programs where people try to conserve the Earth's resources, wildlife, etc.
