Question 1

What defines a conservative force?

  • Path dependent work
  • Can derive from potential function
  • Always positive work

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider which forces depend on path.

Question 2

True or False: The curl of a force field is zero for a non-conservative force.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what curl indicates.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A particle moves under the influence of a central force. If the radius of motion doubles, how does it affect the potential energy?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how potential energy varies with radius.

Question 2

Calculate the work done by a non-conservative force over a distance if the path taken is different, and energy is lost due to friction.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the force of friction and distance to find work done against movement.
