Is potential energy conserved or not measurable?
It is not conserved. Total energy is conserved, but specific types of energy are usually not conserved. Not sure what you mean by "measurable" - potential energy is usually calculated, on the basis of other quantities. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy, PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height), all of which can be measured.
What does it mean to say energy is conserved within a system?
When an object is accelerated along a distance that requires energy. If the object is then slowed to a stop by a breaking system that gets back that energy then the energy is said to be conserved
What does 'law and conservation of energy' mean?
It means that energy is conserved; that is, the total amount of energy will neither increase nor decrease.
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.
Is mechanical energy always conserved why or why not?
no it's not cuz if there is friction energy wont be conserved

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

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.
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.
Which energy is always conserved?
kinetic energy..........
How does energy is conserved in a transfermation of energy?
Energy is neither used up nor destroyed, but it is converted into something else. In that way, it is conserved.
