Can energy change into mass?

No. Energy has an ASSOCIATED mass. There is no such thing as mass-to-energy conversion, or energy-to-mass conversion. In a nuclear reaction, for example, BOTH mass and energy are CONSERVED. For a more detailed explanation, check the Wikipedia article on "binding energy".


How does energy conversion support the Law of Conservation?

Any time there is an energy conversion, a certain amount of one type of energy gets reduced, and another type of energy increases. The amounts lost and gained are the same, so total energy is conserved.


What is down conversion?

Down conversion is a word related to physics, it is simply a concept of the interaction of a photon and a medium which is used to convert two photons of lower frequencies such that energy is conserved.


Is machanical energy always conserved?

No. Total energy is always conserved, but not so mechanical energy.


Mechanical energy always conserved why or why not?

no it's not cuz if there is friction energy wont be conserved

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.


When one type of energy is transformed into another type of energy during a conversion what u is lost?

Total energy is always conserved. What is lost is that usually, some useful energy is converted into unusable energy - for example, heat that is spread out.


The total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction is the same .Thus energy is what?

Therefore energy is conserved.


Is rock conserved in the same sense that energy is conserved?

Not really, no.


Can some energy is lost during every transfer or conversion.?

Usually some energy is wasted, yes. Energy is not "lost" in the sense of conservation of energy; energy is always conserved. However, useful energy gets converted into unusable energy all the time.


Which is not conserved mass acceleration energy momentum?

Acceleration is not conserved. Energy can not be created nor destroyed. Mass and momentum are both conserved through a set time.
