Law of Conservation

Description:

The law of conservation refers to the fundamental principle that certain properties of an isolated system remain constant over time. It states that energy, mass, and momentum cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.

Sample Sentences:

• The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only change its form.
• The law of conservation of mass states that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
• The law of conservation of momentum states that in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
