What does the conservation of energy law state?

• Energy is never created nor destroyed.  It simply moves from one state to another.
• Energy is always created.  It does not move from one state to another.
• Energy is created when it goes from potential energy to kinetic energy.
• Energy is destroyed when it goes from kinetic energy to potential energy.
