Question

The difference between conservative and nonconservative forces

Answer 1

Answer:

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path. Equivalently, if a particle travels in a closed loop, the total work done by a conservative force is zero.

Forces that do not store energy are called nonconservative or dissipative forces. Friction is a nonconservative force, and there are others. Any friction-type force, like air resistance, is a nonconservative force. The energy that it removes from the system is no longer available to the system for kinetic energy.May

Answer 2

$\huge \red{ \sf{{ANSWER}}}$

□ A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path.

□ Nonconservative forces, such as friction, that depend on other factors, such as velocity, are dissipative, and no potential energy can be defined for them.
