Question

A force does work on a 50 g particle as the particle moves along the following straight paths in the xy-plane: 25 J from (0 m, 0 m) to (5 m, 0 m); 35 J from (0 m, 0 m) to (0 m, 5 m); 5 J from (5 m, 0 m) to (5 m, 5 m); 15 J from (0 m, 5 m) to (5 m, 5 m); and 20 J from (0 m, 0 m) to (5 m, 5 m). Is this conservation force?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Given that

m = 50 g

We know that if work done by force does not depends on the path followed by force then it is known as conservative force.On the other hand if work done by force depends on the path then it is know as non conservative force.

Initial position o and final position b

W(ob)= 20 J

W(ob) = W(oa)+W(ab) = 20 + 5 J

W(ob) = 25 J

So from we can say that work depends on the path ,that is why it is non -conservative force.

Answer is No.
