Scientists call this law the law of conservation of matter
Yes, The total amount of energy will always be constant. That is that GPE + KE = Total Energy - external forces(friction, sound, heat, etc.)
The law of Conservation of Energy. Actually, that law has been superceded now by a slightly different one. Recently (maybe 100 years ago) it was learned that energy can become mass and mass can become energy. So the law had to be modified to say that the total combination of mass and energy can't be created or destroyed.
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
Law of conservation of energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed is the basic statement of the law of conservation of energy.

A moving pendulum illustrates the change from potential energy to kinetic energy. In the process of its motion from its mean position to either of its extreme positions, the total energy remains constant, thus following the Law Of Conservation Of Energy.
The law of Conversation of Energy

That is because the law of conservation of energy states that you can not create new energy.

Conservation of mechanical energy means that the total mechanical energy doesn't increase or decrease over time.Note that in real systems, some mechanical will always be lost due to friction.
