Question

Is friction a non-conservative force?

✓

Answer

Yes. When the direction of motion of a body reverses, the direction of friction is also reversed. Work has to be done against friction both during the forward and return journey i.e., work done against friction along a closed path is not zero. So friction is a non-conservative force.
