Explain how the conservation of energy and the conservation of matter might still be considered true when put together in spite of the ability of each to convert into the other.(2 points)
The conservation of energy and the conservation of matter can still be considered true when put together because although energy and matter can be converted into each other (as shown by nuclear reactions), the total amount of energy and matter in a closed system remains constant. This means that even though energy and matter can interchange, the overall quantity of energy and matter in a system does not change. This concept is known as the conservation of mass-energy, which states that the total mass-energy of a closed system is conserved. Therefore, while energy and matter can be converted into each other, the total mass-energy of a system remains constant, and the principles of conservation of energy and conservation of matter can still hold true when considered together.
