Solution 1
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; the sum total of energy in a closed system remains unchanged. Energy only changes from one form to another.
Solution 2
According to the law of conservation of mechanical energy, the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy always remains constant.
