Law of Conservation of Energy

Conservation of Mechanical Energy-
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
According to Conservation of Mechanical Energy, If only conservative forces act on a system,
the total mechanical energy remains constant.
By work-energy theorem we have $W=k_f-k_i$ or $\triangle K=\int_{r_i}^{r_f} \vec{f} . d \vec{s}$
And the change in potential energy in a conservative field is
$$
U_i-U_f=\int_{r_i}^{r_f} \vec{f} \cdot \overrightarrow{d s}
$$
Or,
$$
-\Delta U=\int_{r_i}^{r_f} \vec{f} \cdot \overrightarrow{d s}
$$
From equation (1) and (2)
We get, $\Delta K=-\Delta U$
$$
\Delta K+\Delta U=0
$$
Means, $K+U=E$ (constant)
Or, E is constant in a conservative field
i.e; if the kinetic energy of the body increases its potential energy will decrease by an equal amount and vice versa.
2. Law of conservation of total energy-
If some non-conservative force like friction is also acting on the particle, the mechanical energy is no more constant.
It changes by the amount of work done by non-conservative force.
$$
\text { i.e; } \Delta K+\Delta U=\Delta E=W_{f n c}
$$
The lost energy is transformed into heat or in other forms of energy. But the total energy remains constant.
So, according to the Law of conservation of total energy “Energy may be transformed from one kind to another but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total energy in an isolated system is constant.”
