Three laws of conservations in classical physics?

-- Conservation of mass/energy. -- Conservation of linear momentum. -- Conservation of angular momentum. . I think there's gotta be another one. Anybody out there have it ? Ah hah ! The question says "Classical" physics. So 'Mass' and 'Energy' are separate cases.


How is the conservation of momentum important to astronomy?

There are several conservation laws in physics, and many of them tell an astronomer what is, and what isn't, possible. This can help explain how certain things happen, or even predict what will happen. Among the laws of conservation that are relevant in astronomy are: conservation of mass; conservation of energy; conservation of momentum; conservation of rotational momentum; conservation of charge.


Has the law of conservation of energy been disproved?

No. It is one of the most firmly established laws of physics.

Why cant there be a perpetual machine?

It isn't entirely clear what you mean with "perpetual machine". If you mean the old dream of the "perpetuum mobile", such a machine would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy; there are various reasons to assume that this law can't be violated:* Despite lots of attempts, by thousands of ingenious inventors, and over centuries, nobody has managed to violate Conservation of Energy so far. * Violating Conservation of Energy would also violate lots of other laws of physics, which are generally considered to be true. For example, Conservation of Mass, and Conservation of Momentum. * By Nöther's Theorem, the possibility that the amount of energy changes over time would be equivalent to the laws of physics changing over time! - Nowadays, the Law of Conservation of Energy is normally derived from Nöther's Theorem.


What are the four physical quantities that are conserved?

While there are many more (somewhat more obscure) conservation laws throughout physics (like "Conservation of Lepton Number"), I believe the four you may be referring to are Conservation of Matter Conservation of Energy Conservation of Charge Conservation of Momentum NOTE that Conservation of Matter is not a true law (it is broken in many nuclear reactions). The other three are laws.
