Question 1

What distinguishes a conservative force?

  • Work is path-dependent
  • Work is independent of path
  • Work is always positive

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of Gravity and Springs.

Question 2

True or False: Non-conservative forces can be described by a potential energy function.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a particle moving through a conservative force field. If it starts at a height of 5 m with a potential energy of 100 J, what potential energy does it have at a height of 2 m?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate the difference in potential energy to find the answer.

Question 2

A block slides down a frictional ramp. If its initial height is 4 m and the work done against friction is 10 J, how much kinetic energy does it have at the bottom?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Convert potential energy calculations to kinetic energy considering energy loss from friction.
