I suppose you mean "inertia". That is the tendency of an object to remain at rest if it is resting, or to keep moving (at a constant velocity) if it is moving.

Why length is fundamental unit?

Length is fundamental because space is fundamental and relates two other fundamental units energy and force.


What are the two fundamental forms of energy in science?

Science describes more than two fundamental forms of energy, but perhaps you are thinking of kinetic energy and potential energy. Heat is also a form of energy, as are chemical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, etc.


What law states that energy can change form but is never created or destroyed?

It is the Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the First Law of Thermodynamics.The concept of energy is one of the most fundamental concepts of science.This is the first law of thermodynamics and it is worth saying in several ways.(A) Energy is conserved.(That is short and accurate answer but non-scientists are not used to the word "conserved" being used in this way. But, scientists use it to mean "Stays the same" all the time.)(B) Energy can change from one form of energy to another, but energy can not be created or destroyed.(This is a fundamental law of Nature and the first law of thermodynamics, that energy of a closed system can never change. Sometimes it is said that "the total energy of the universe is always the same." )Discussion:Nature provides us with the Law of Conservation of Energy, whichever way you want to say it. It was about 400 years ago that science started to understand energy. At first it was only kinetic energy, the energy of motion, that was observed unchanged.Soon this was expanded to include gravitational potential energy. Later this expanded to other forms such as elastic potential energy, heat energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical and many other forms, including the famous "mass energy," E=mc2.How grand to know that the first law of thermodynamics says that we will never run out of energy. Alas, the second law says that Entropy is the problem and energy cannot always be used to do work.Aside: There is a big discussion in cosmology now about "dark energy." This should not be confused with the possibility that maybe energy is not conserved. The truth is that cosmologists have no idea what this "dark energy" is and it is not even a sure thing that it is 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.


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.
