In situations is mechanical energy conserved?

It depends on the situation


In a collision what is conserved?

Momentum is conserved in a collision. If two cars have the same mass and are traveling at the same speed and collide headfirst, the momentum of both cars cancel each other out and they will be motionless. If one has greater speed or mass than the other, it will still have the difference in momentum after the collision.


Is machanical energy always conserved?

No. Total energy is always conserved, but not so mechanical energy.


Mechanical energy always conserved why or why not?

no it's not cuz if there is friction energy wont be conserved

When you throw a matter from a height why mechanical energy is not conserved?

When you throw matter from a height, mechanical energy is not conserved by you, but it is by the matter. You are exerting mechanical energy to throw the object, and the matter is conserving it by not having to do any work to move.


Can an objects mechanical energy change?

Yes, it can. For instance, if you have friction in the system mechanical energy of the system is not conserved.


When only mechanical energy acts on an object what is conserved?

gravity


Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?

Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.


Which form of energy is not related to the small particles that make up an object?

mechanical energy


When an object's total mechanical energy is NOT conserved?

In what pattern does the flow of energy in the ecosystem take place


In what situations does the law of conservation of energy not apply?

In general Conservation of Energy does not hold internal to a system, it only holds at the boundary of the system. This is where the limits of the system are. Internal to the system energy is not conserved. The situations where the Conservation does not apply is where the force is not zero or the first derivative of energy is not zero.
