Question

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply.

a.The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.
b.A potential energy function can be specified for a nonconservative force.
c.A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.
d.A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.
e.A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies. T
f.he work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

Answer 1

The following statements are true:

c. A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

e.A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

f. The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The statement a is incorrect as the work done by a conservative force does not depend upon the the path taken instead work done by a non- conservative force depend upon the path taken.
• The statement b is incorrect as the potential energy function can not be specified for a non-conservative force but it is specified for a conservative force.
• The statement d is also incorrect as the non-conservative force doesn't permits a two way conversion between Kinetic and Potential energies but the conservative force permits this conversion.
