How conservation laws are tested experimentally independently from each other? what do I mean by that question?
It seems that to test one conservation law experimentally, such as conservation of energy, we will have to assume other conservation laws are correct such as conservation of charge and conservation of momentum and angular momentum...etc.
But to really test any conservation law one has to check if one of them is valid independent from any other one. Is this possible experimentally? if not then how scientists check conservation laws?

You have probably seen people jogging in extremely hot weather and wondered "Why?" As we shall see, there are good reasons not to do this! When jogging strenuously, an average runner of mass 68.0 kg and surface area 1.85 m2 produces energy at a rate of up to 1330 W , 80.0 % of which is converted to heat. The jogger radiates heat, but actually absorbs more from the hot air than he radiates away. At such high levels of activity, the skin's temperature can be elevated to around 33.0 ∘C instead of the usual 30.0 ∘C. (We shall neglect conduction, which would bring even more heat into his body.) The only way for the body to get rid of this extra heat is by evaporating water (sweating).
A: How much heat per second is produced just by the act of jogging? (J/s)
B: How much net heat per second does the runner gain just from radiation if the air temperature is 40.0 ∘C (104 ∘F)? (Remember that he radiates out, but the environment radiates back in.) (W)
C: What is the total amount of excess heat this runner's body must get rid of per second? (J/s)
D: How much water must the jogger's body evaporate every minute due to his activity? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42×106 J/kg . (g)
E: How many 750 mL bottles of water must he drink after (or preferably before!) jogging for a half hour? Recall that a liter of water has a mass of 1.00 kg .

Lab 21 Part 1:
Materials- Slinky, Partner
Methods- A slinky was spread out 15 feet long with a partner and I sitting on the floor. Each of us was only holding a couple of coils while the rest was on the ground. Then each person sent over waves of different sizes and observed the different speeds that they passed by. Afterwards each person sent over transverse waves by moving the slinky side to side. Then we observed longitudinal waves by pushing the slinky in and pulling back.
After that the partner sent a transverse wave and the same time as me. It was observed what happens when the waves pass each other. Then moving waves were made by moving one end of the slinky back and forth while the partners end was still to create standing waves.
1. What happened when the transverse waves reached your partner’s end? Did the reflected wave stay on the same side as the one you sent? Draw a diagram showing the incoming and reflected waves. 2. Did the waves go any faster or slower when you tried a variety of amplitudes? Explain how this agrees or disagrees with the equation for a transverse wave’s velocity. 3. What did you notice about the speed of the longitudinal waves compared to the transverse waves? 4. Explain what happened when you and your partner both sent waves on the same side. What kind of interference took place? 5. What happened when waves on opposite sides passed each other? 6. How did shortening the length of the spring affect the resonant frequencies? How does this confirm the relationship v = λ f when velocity is constant? (Hint: a shorter spring length means smaller wavelengths for each standing wave). 7. Using this knowledge, explain how musical instruments create higher and lower tones. Use a string instrument as an example.

An instrument used to measure the airspeed on many early low-speed airplanes was a venturi duct with a convergent-divergent duct (the front section's cross sectional area decreases in the flow direction, and the back section's cross sectional area increases in the flow direction. There is a "throat" in which the area is minimum.). Let A1 and A2 denote the inlet and throat areas, respectively. Let P1 and P2 denote the pressure at the inlet and throat, respectively. If the area ratio is A2/A1 = 1/4 and P1 - P2 = 80 lb/ft2. If the aircraft is flying at standard sea level, what is the velocity in knots?

6. In each situation described below, compare the magnitudes of the two forces. Explain your answer in each case.
g. A truck attempts to tow a car. They are connected by a 2-m-long rope. At first the truck doesn’t pull hard enough, and the car doesn’t move. Compare the force exerted by the truck’s bumper on the rope to that exerted by the rope on the truck’s bumper. Also compare the force exerted by the rope on the car’s bumper to that exerted by the car’s bumper on the rope.
h. Finally the truck pulls hard enough so that the car begins to move. Compare the same pairs of forces as in (g) to each other.
