Question

Gravitational force or spring force is conservative force - explain.

✓

Answer

→When a body is taken from one point to the other point, using an external force against the force like gravitational force or spring force, the work done on the body is stored in the form of potential energy.
→When this external force is removed, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy remains constant in this process. Therefore, these type of forces are called conservative forces.
