Conservative ForceEasyQuestion 30409

Question

A conservative force is one for which:
  1. A
    Work depends on the path taken
  2. B
    Work is independent of path (depends only on endpoints)
    Correct
  3. C
    Work is always positive
  4. D
    Work is always zero

Correct answer

Work is independent of path (depends only on endpoints)

Explanation

For a conservative force, the work done in moving between two points is path-independent. Gravity and spring force are conservative; friction is not.
