"Hello!"
Explanation: Law of conservation of energy- energy it cannot be "created or destroy." The total amount of energy in the universe is always stays the same. Even when it seems that energy has been gained or lost, it has only changed form. The particles that come out of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions have less mass than the particles that went into the reactions. Matter disappears during nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The missing matter is converted into energy. For example of law of conservation of energy: when a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is converted to light and heat.
Hope this helps!
And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly.

⭕This law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.
⭕Suppose an object of mass m Falls freely from a height h.
⭕At the start, the potential energy is mgh and kinetic energy is zero. The kinetic energy is zero because its velocity is zero. The total energy of the object is mgh.
⭕As it fall, its potential energy will change into kinetic energy.
⭕If V is the velocity of the object at a given instant, the kinetic energy would be 1/2 mv^2.
⭕As the fall continuous, potential energy would decrease while the kinetic energy would increase.
⭕When the object is about to reach the ground h = 0 and V will be the highest, the kinetic energy would be largest and the potential energy will be the least.
⭕However, the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object would be the same at all the points.
⭕Potential energy + Kinetic energy = Constant
mgh + 1/2mv^2 = constant.
⭕The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of an object is called the total mechanical energy.
