There is one meaning when mass conserves during a physical change. This means that mass will stay the same after the change.

It means that the total mass after the change and before the change disappears. In other words, mass can't just disappear - or appear out of nothing.

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.


How do you know if if mass or matter is conserved?

Well, the Law of Conservation of Mass a.k.a the Principle of Mass/Matter Conservation says that the mass of everything that is closed to all matter and energy will always remain constant over time. ~ You can only tell if mass or matter is conserved by determining if it has a closed system or an open system ~ Mass or matter is only conserved in a closed system because a closed system is a system that cannot exchange matter with its surroundings, so to say that mass or matter is conserved by being "trapped" and will stay constant. I hope this helped!! XD


How are the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass similar?

In both cases, something is conserved - it doesn't change over time.Also, mass and energy are equivalent. If something has energy, it has mass, and vice versa.


Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?

Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.


How can energy be conserved from a nuclear weapon?

A tiny bit of the mass of each fissioned (or fused) atom is converted to energy. Energy is not conserver... Mass-Energy is conserved.

What is conserved during any change color volume identity or mass?

The answer is mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that when a chemical or physical change takes place, you end up with the same amount of mass that you started in. It may just be in a different state, such as a gas.

Why is mass conserved during the combution of methane?

Its conserved during the combustion of anything - the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the materials that react.


Why isn't a change in mass an indicator of chemical change?

A change in mass is not always an indicator of a chemical change because mass is conserved in chemical reactions. The total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. However, there are some exceptions where a change in mass can occur due to the release or absorption of gases or changes in the physical state (such as evaporation or condensation) during a chemical reaction.
