Question

When a non conservative force acts on a system, does thetotaal mechanical energy remain constant? A)yes B)no Hint: The definition of a conservative force is: When a conservative force acts on a system, the totalmechanical energy remains constant. It conserves the total mechanical energy When a non conservative force acts on a system, does thetotaal mechanical energy remain constant? A)yes B)no Hint: The definition of a conservative force is: When a conservative force acts on a system, the totalmechanical energy remains constant. It conserves the total mechanical energy
