Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy is a law that states that "energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed" this means that you can't create it or destroyed as in, if you burn wood, you have released the energy. you haven't destroyed it, you have just released it

If an object is moving or in motion

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
