When only air resistance acts on an object mechanical energy is conserved?
No. Air resistance is still resistance. Even if it is very slight it still dissipates energy.
Is friction and air resistance an energy?
friction and air resistance are respectively the amount of force applied involving the dissipation of ENERGY and the oppsition offered to an object when moving in air. so friction and air resistance are not a type of energy but opposing forces .
What else increases as energy carried by a current increases?
The amount of electric energy that is converted into thermal energy increases as the resistance of wire increases. As the resistance in the current increases, the current in the circuit decreases.
If a mass spring system is hung vertically and set in to motion why does the motion eventually stop?
Energy is lost in any such process. Air resistance, resistance within the spring, even sound, can dissipate part of the energy.Energy is lost in any such process.

What is the difference between a resistance and a capacitor?
resistance refers to the resistance of flow of electric current wile a capacitor is an electric device that stores energy.

Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
