The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another.
Imagine a game of billiards. When you hit the cue ball, it transfers its energy to the other balls on the table. No energy is lost or gained during this process, just like how energy is conserved in different forms.
Potential Energy: The stored energy an object has due to its position or condition.
Kinetic Energy: The energy possessed by an object in motion.
Mechanical Energy: The sum of potential and kinetic energies in a system.
