Question Learning Goal: The law of conservation of energy states the following: In an isolated system the total energy remains constant. It the objects within the system interact through gravitational and elastic forces only, then the total mechanical energy is conserved The mechanical energy of a system is defined as the sum of kinetic energy K and potential energy Learning Goal: The law of conservation of energy states the following: In an isolated system the total energy remains constant. It the objects within the system interact through gravitational and elastic forces only, then the total mechanical energy is conserved The mechanical energy of a system is defined as the sum of kinetic energy K and potential energy U. For such systems in which no forces other than the gravitational and elastic forces do work, the law of conservation of energy can be written as K₁+UK+U₁ where the quantities with subscript " refer to the initial moment and those with subscript T refer to the final moment. A wise choice of initial and final moments, which is not always obvious, may significantly simplify the solution.
