Question

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. The work done by a neoconservative force depends on the path taken. A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies. A neoconservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies. The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken. A potential energy function can be specified for a neoconservative force.

Explanation / Answer

1. TRUE. The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

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

3. TRUE .A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between KE and PE.

4. FALSE. It only happens for conservative forces.

5. FALSE. It is independent of the path.

6. FALSE. It is only for conservative forces.
