Question 9

Conservation of Matter

Answer 9

A fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system

Question 10

Conservation of Energy

Answer 10

The total amount ofenergyin anisolated system remains constant over time;it can change form within the system, for instancechemical energycan becomekinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed
