  12. energy is always conserved • Themechanicalenergy of a system is conserved when there are no outside forces acting on the system. • When there are outside forces acting on the system, these forces change the mechanical energy of the system. • For example, friction turns mechanical energy into thermal energy. • We find, however, that energy never appears or disappears randomly—it always comes from somewhere and goes somewhere. This means that the totalenergy is always conserved. • So, while mechanical energy is not always conserved, the total energy is—you cannot gain or lose energy from nothing!
