The most relevant conservation law in this case is probably the Law of Conservation of Energy. The computer uses electrical energy, most of which is eventually converted into heat. A small part will go out as sound, and as low-frequency electromagnetic waves.

Using a computer does not violate the laws of conservation. The energy consumed by a computer is converted into various forms, such as heat and mechanical energy, but overall the total amount of energy remains constant. The laws of conservation of energy and mass are still upheld in the operation of a computer.
The laws of conservation of mass and conservation of energy are similar in that both state that the total amount of mass or energy in a closed system remains constant over time. However, the conservation of mass applies specifically to mass, while the conservation of energy applies to energy in its various forms (kinetic, potential, etc.).
Yes, other conservation laws that appear in life include the conservation of energy, mass, and momentum. These fundamental principles play a critical role in understanding various biological processes and ecosystems.
There are numerous laws and regulations at local, national, and international levels aimed at conservation. These include laws related to protecting endangered species, managing habitats, regulating pollution, and promoting sustainable resource use. The exact number varies depending on the location and scope of the laws being considered.
Friction is a force that resists relative motion between two surfaces, leading to energy loss in the form of heat. The laws of conservation of energy state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. Friction causes energy to be dissipated, leading to a loss of mechanical energy in a system.
The conservation of kinetic energy does not apply to an inelastic collision because some of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms, such as heat or sound, during the collision. The total momentum is still conserved in an inelastic collision.
