Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can never be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another.

Open and closed systemsOpen and closed systems
In an open system, energy and matter can pass through the imaginary system boundary and leave the system.
A system is a group of interacting objects and influences, such as forces.

Total energy = Total energy
If we keep track of what forms energy takes before and after the change, we can often predict the kinds of change that are possible.
Within a closed system, energy can be exchanged or transformed, but the total energy remains constant.
