Question

Examples of conservative forces are:

Option 1: Gravitational force and friction
Option 2: Gravitational force and tension
Option 3: Elastic (spring) force and air resistance
Option 4: Elastic (spring) force and tension

Answer 1

A conservative force is one for which work depends only on the starting and ending points of a motion. Examples of conservative forces include gravitational force and tension.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conservative force is one for which work depends only on the starting and ending points of a motion, not on the path taken. Examples of conservative forces include gravitational force and tension. Therefore, Option 2: Gravitational force and tension is the correct answer.
