Question

properties of conservative forces

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\Huge\mathfrak{Answer-: }}}$

Properties of conservative forces-

1. Work done by or against a conservative force, in moving a body from one position to the other depends only on the initial and final positions of the body

2. Work done by or against a conservative force does not depend upon the nature of the path followed by the body in going from initial position to the final position.

3. Work done by or against a conservative force in moving a body through any round trip (i.e., closed path, where final position coincides with the initial position of the body) is always zero.

Answer 2

$\bf{\huge{\mathfrak{\boxed{\red{Properties :\:}}}}}$

• The force only dependent on the initial and final position irrespective of the path taken.
• In any closed path, the work done by a conservative force is zero.
• The work done by a conservative is reversible.
• A conservative force results in stored or potential energy.
• Work and energy associated with the force can be recovered.
