What does the law of conservation of energy state?

Answer:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is never created or destroyed only converted.

This law is known by two different names:
1. "The Law of Conservation of Energy"
2. "The First Law of Thermodynamics"

Answer:

Conservation of energy means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant. You can't create energy out of nothing, and you can't destroy it - however, you can convert from one type of energy to another. This includes converting useful energy to unusable energy - but the total amount of energy still remains constant.
There is a quantity called energy that is conserved in a closed system. That is to say, if no energy get into a system or gets out, the total amount of energy will remain constant.
