500

TRUE OR FALSE: Potential + Kinetic = Mechanical 

True

500
State the Conservation of energy law.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed, or transformed.

What is the Conservation of Mass Law?

The Conservation of Mass Law states that during an ordinary chemical reaction, there is no detectable increase or decrease in mass in the quantity of the matter.
