No. Conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant, only valid in a perfect or frictionless environment. In thermodynamics, the first law of thermodynamics is a statement of the conservation of energy for thermodynamic systems.

No. If you believe on the theory of Einstein about relativity, then NO, energy is constant and is neither created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another, as in electricity into heat or light and with something like a solar cell from light into electricity which can then become light elsewhere or heat.

No. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. But they can be converted to another like sound, heat, electrical, etc... Also, E=mc^2. So, energy can be related to mass. I think.

Im not so sure about the cant be created part but im fairly sure you cant destroy it. I mean what are you gona destroy it with more energy??? The universe is probably constantly making new energy for all we know. A law is only a law untill scientists realize they were mistaken again again.

The first law is very simple and important but pretty dull: You can't create or destroy energy.
You can just change it from one form to another, for example, electricity to heat, heat that will boil water and make steam, hot steam to push a piston (mechanical energy) or rotate a turbine that makes electricity that in turn can be changed to light in a light bulb or to sound in an audio speaker system, and so forth. That's it. Important but dull.

Energy cannot be destroyed or created. It can only be converted from one form to another (Eg. chemical energy to electrical energy in battery, elastic potential to kinetic energy in a rubber band)

the law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed into other forms,e.g,mechanical energy, vibrational energy etc.

energy can never be destroyed.. but it can be transformed from one to another.. for example electrical energy can be converted into light energy and heat enerygy when lighting a bulb :-)
