The principle of conservation of energy implies that

Question

The principle of conservation of energy implies that (A) the total mechanical energy is conserved (B) the total kinetic energy is conserved (C) the total potential energy is conserved (D) the sum of all types of energies is conserved

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The principle of conservation of energy implies that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Therefore the sum of all types of energies is conserved.
