Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about energy in my science class. What are the main types of energy?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
There are several main types of energy, including kinetic energy (the energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (the energy of heat), electrical energy, and chemical energy.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That's helpful. What's the law of conservation of energy?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can't be created or destroyed, only converted from one type to another. This means that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time.<|im_end|>

So, when I roll a ball, its potential energy becomes kinetic energy?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Exactly. As the ball rolls down a hill, its potential energy (stored energy due to its height) is converted into kinetic energy (the energy of motion).<|im_end|>
