The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only transformed. Describe how this would apply to a slide.

In a slide, you’re potential energy (sitting on top of a slide) is transformed into kinetic energy when you slide down and then goes back to potential energy when you reach the bottom at a stop. No energy was destroyed nor created, just transformed from one state to another
