distinguish between:
Conservative and non-conservative forces
Conservative and non-conservative forces
✓
Answer
Conservative and non-conservative forces,
| No | Conservative | Non-conservative forces |
| i. | If work done by or against a force is independent’ of the actual path, the force is said to be a conservative force. | If work done by or against a force is dependent of the actual path, the force is said to be a non- conservative force. |
| ii. | During work done by a conservative force, the mechanical energy is conserved. | During work done by a non conservative force, the mechanical energy may not be conserved. |
| iii. | Work done is completely recoverable. | Work done is not recoverable. |
| Example: gravitational force, magnetic force etc. |
Example: Frictional force, air drag etc. |
