    Conservation of Energy: In a closed system where forces are conservative (like gravity), the total mechanical energy ($E = K + U$, kinetic energy plus potential energy) remains constant.
    Conservation of Linear Momentum: As derived from the Third Law, the total momentum of an isolated system is conserved.
