What is conserved sum of potential and kinetic energy?
The sum of potential and kinetic energy is called "mechanical energy". This is NOT conserved, though - unless you consider the microscopic scale, in which case (for example) heat energy is a type of kinetic energy. In this case, the sum is simply the total energy, and the total energy IS conserved.
Thermodynamics is the study of how energy is conserved and?
... and converted from one form to another.
Can the universe loses energy because of heat production due to the first law of thermodynamics?
No - energy can be transformed into heat - but heat is just another form of energy. The first law states that energy must be conserved - but it is allowed to change form.
In a collision what is conserved?
Momentum is conserved in a collision. If two cars have the same mass and are traveling at the same speed and collide headfirst, the momentum of both cars cancel each other out and they will be motionless. If one has greater speed or mass than the other, it will still have the difference in momentum after the collision.
Is mechanical energy always conserved why or why not?
no it's not cuz if there is friction energy wont be conserved
Will the total energy of a vibrating body is conserved if friction occur?
Energy is always conserved. When friction is present, the energy usually just turns into heat.

How is energy conserved in an endothermic reaction?
Energy is conserved in an endothermic reaction because the heat absorbed becomes potential energy. This potential energy isn't lost energy, it's simply stored, instead of being used.
Are there any common ways energy is changed from one form to another yet conserved?
Yes. Motors and generators exchange mechanical/electrical energy with heat as the conservation energy component. Heat and friction are the common ways energy is conserved as it is changed from one form of energy to another, e.g chemical to electrical by battery and heat.
Is momentum conserved in inelastic collision?
The energy of the momentum in a collision is conserved through the following occurrences; movement of vehicle(s) after impact, deformation of the vehicle(s) or objects hit, heat and sound.
How is energy conserved when a car hits another car during an accident?
Most of the mechanical (or kinetic) energy is converted to heat.
When a dam is in operation is heat used or conserved?
When a dam is in operation, it is conserving both heat and energy. This is because it is holding back water. When the dam is opened, both energy and heat are lost.

How is energy conserved as coal in a steam engine makes the steam engine move?
becaue of heat transfomation

How is energy conserved in transformation?
A energy can be changed or transformed. When you rub your hands together,your hands become warm. Mechanical energy due to motion is changed into heat energy
