Conservation of Energy

Definition of Conservation of Energy

1. Conservation of Energy is the observation that for a system whose mass does not change, energy is not created nor destroyed. Energy may change forms; energy may be exchanged with the system's environment. Any change in the total energy of the system is accounted for by the opposing change in energy of the system's environment.
