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.
PE refers to potential energy - the energy of position KE refers to kinetic energy - the energy related to an object's speed.
Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.
Energy refers to the ability to do work on objects. The five main forms of energy are nuclear, thermal, mechanical, chemical and electromagnetic energy.
You can assume for this problem that "total energy" refers to "total mechanical energy", i.e., potential energy + kinetic energy.

Decibel.
Activation energy
the amount of energy reflected
