GOING BY THE WORDINGS OF THE QUESTION TOTAL ENERGY HERE DOES NOT MEAN MECHANICAL ENERGY .IN ANY CASE OTHER THAN CASES OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS , TOTAL ENERGY OF ANY SYSTEM IS CONSERVED .IF EXTERNAL FORCES DONT ACT ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL ENERGY IS CONSERVED .SECOND PART : CONSIDER FRICTION IT DECREASES THE MOMENTUM IN A NUMBER OF CASES SO ASSERTION IS TRUE REASON IS FALSE .
