It's part of the process. An engine converts energy from one form to another. The power is a measure of how quickly this happens. The efficiency of the engine is defined as the output power divided by the input power (usually as a percentage). Although less power is output than was input, conservation of energy says that the power left over appears in a different, unwanted, form, usually as heat.

What state of law states that after energy conversions you end up with the same total amount of energy as the original amount of potential?

That's not an accurate quote of the 'law', and it's not a true statement either. To state the law in terms of a correction to the statement in the question: After energy conversions, you end up with the same total amount of energy as the original amount of energy. This law is cleverly referred to as the law of "Conservation of Energy".


Explaine the law of conservation of mechanical energy?

This simply means that, as long as no mechanical energy is wasted or converted to other types of energy (and no other type of energy to mechanical energy), the total amount of mechanical energy doesn't change. Mechanical energy refers to the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Since energy losses and energy conversions do occur, this is not really a "law". In other words, the law of conservation of energy has not been known to be violated; conservation of mechanical energy is very easily violated.


What law says in chemical change energy is neither created or destroyed?

Scientists call this law the law of conservation of matter


What are the laws of energy conversion?

Those would basically be the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law (energy conservation) states that the total energy can not be increased or decreased. The Second Law imposes some limitations about what conversions are possible.


Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

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 Actually, that law has been superceded now by a slightly different one.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.

How does converting energy from one form to another relate to the Law of Conservation of Energy?

The law of conservation of energy might apply to an energy conversion that you observe in your daily life for example if you have something on the table and you push it or move it with your arm


Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?

The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.


How does friction play a role in the conservation of energy from one form to another?

In many energy conversions, some energy gets lost - in some cases through friction. Of course, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can't really diseappear, but it does get converted into low-value forms, i.e., unusable energy.


What states have energy laws that state that energy can not be created or destroyed?

Law of conservation of energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed is the basic statement of the law of conservation of energy.


Why the law of conservation of energy can mean that you do not have unlimited sources of energy?

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