In what situations does the law of conservation of energy not apply?

In general Conservation of Energy does not hold internal to a system, it only holds at the boundary of the system. This is where the limits of the system are. Internal to the system energy is not conserved.
The situations where the Conservation does not apply is where the force is not zero or the first derivative of energy is not zero.

∙ 14y agoThe cases when energy are not conserved are the cases when the energy is not dispitated.It usually happens in an isolated system under specific conditions.But in fact energy converstion is conserved in that case.According to law of conservation of energy it cannot be conserved

∙ 10y agoit cannot be conserved, it can change type of energy, for example chemical energy will change to kinetic energy in explotion (dynamite)

Which law states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed?
This law is known mainly with two different names: "Law of Conservation of Energy", or "First Law of Thermodynamics".
In what situations would mass be conserved?
This is a general law of nature - the law of mass conservation.
The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is converted to another?
The law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed only changed. It works hand in hand with the law of conservation of matter, because matter can be converted to energy and vice versa.
The law of conservation of mass is apply to chemical changes?
The law of conservation of mass applies to all chemical reactions with the exception of nuclear reactions. In nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy to vice versa. Thus, the law of conservation of mass does not apply in these cases.
On what principle does calorimetry depends?
law of conservation of energy.
Where does the law of conservation of energy apply?
Everywhere.
How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the coal power plant?
the power plant is hazardous to the enviroment.
What law of the scientific rule states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
The law of Conversation of Energy
What law says in chemical change energy is neither created or destroyed?
Scientists call this law the law of conservation of matter
How does the law of conservation apply to a game of pool?
There are several laws of conservation; please clarify which one you mean. For example, there is the law of conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of rotational momentum, of electrical charge, and others.
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.
Which of the conservation law does not apply to an inelastic collision?
Both conservation laws are applied. The conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. But total energy IS CONSERVED and the principle of conservation of energy does hold.
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.
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.
What are the important application of law of conservation of energy?
For a start, it tells you that any effort to get energy "for free" (create energy where there was none before) are doomed to failure. In general, the Law of Conservation of Energy helps understand many physical situations; some calculations can be done quite simply if you assume (as you should) that energy is always conserved.
How is friction different from the laws of conservation of energy?
There are no "laws" of conservation of energy, just the law of conservation of energy. The existence of friction doesn't change anything - the law of conservation of energy still holds.
