Physicists explore the universe. Their investigations, based on scientific processes, range from particles that are smaller than atoms in size to stars that are very far away. For motion under an external conservative force, the total mechanical energy i.e. the sum of kinetic and potential energy of a body is a constant. The familiar example is the free fall of an object under gravity. Both the kinetic energy of the object and its potential energy change continuously with time, but the sum remains fixed. Physical World Nature of Physical Laws

In the analysis of chemical reactions. A chemical reaction is basically a rearrangement of atoms among different molecules. If the total binding energy of the reacting molecules is less than the total binding energy of the product molecules, the difference appears as heat and the reaction is exothermic. The opposite is true for energy absorbing endothermic reactions. Physical World Nature of Physical Laws

The concept of energy is central to physics. When all forms of energy e.g., heat, mechanical energy, electrical energy etc., are counted, it turns out that energy is conserved. The general law of conservation of energy is true for all forces and for any kind of transformation between different forms of energy. The law of conservation of energy is thought to be valid across all domains of nature, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Physical World Nature of Physical Laws

According to Einstein’s theory, mass m is equivalent to energy E given by the relation E= mc 2 where c is speed of light in vacuum. Energy is a scalar quantity. But all conserved quantities are not necessarily scalars. The total linear momentum and the total angular momentum (both vectors) of an isolated system are also conserved quantities. Physical World Nature of Physical Laws

Conservation laws have a deep connection with symmetries of nature. For example, an important observation is that the laws of nature do not change with time! Physical World Nature of Physical Laws If you perform an experiment in your laboratory today and repeat the same experiment (on the same objects under identical conditions) after a year, the results are bound to be the same.

The laws of nature are the same everywhere in the universe. But the phenomena may differ from place to place because of differing conditions at different locations. For example, the acceleration due to gravity at the moon is one-sixth that at the earth, but the law of gravitation is the same both on the moon and the earth. This symmetry of the laws of nature with respect to translation in space gives rise to conservation of linear momentum. Physical World Nature of Physical Laws
