The total amount of energy and mass in the universe is _____. always changing slowly increasing constant slowly decreasing

Respuesta :

the answer is it stays constant

Answer:

constant

Explanation:

The universe is an isolated system. In thermodynamics, an isolated system is a system that does not exchange neither matter (mass) nor energy with the external surroundings.

As a consequence, the energy and mass of an isolated system is always constant (because it cannot be exchanged with the outside): this is known as law of conservation of energy, and it can be applied to the universe as well, since it is an isolated system.

So, the correct answer is

The total amount of energy and mass in the universe is constant
