6. PHY 231 6 Conservative forces A force is conservative if the work done by the force when Moving an object from A to B does not depend on the path taken from A to B. Example: gravitational force h=10m Using the stairs: W g =mgh f -mgh i =mg(h f -h i ) Using the elevator: W g =mgh f -mgh i =mg(h f -h i ) The path taken (longer or shorter) does not matter: only the displacement does!

7. PHY 231 7 Non conservative forces A force is non-conservative if the work done by the force when moving an object from A to B depends on the path taken from A to B. Example: Friction You have to perform more work Against friction if you take the long path, compared to the short path. The friction force changes kinetic energy into heat. Heat, chemical energy (e.g battery or fuel in an engine) Are sources or sinks of internal energy.

8. PHY 231 8 Conservation of mechanical energy only holds if the system is closed AND all forces are conservative ME i -ME f =(PE+KE) i -(PE+KE) f =0 if all forces are conservative Example: throwing a snowball from a building neglecting air resistance ME i -ME f =(PE+KE) i -(PE+KE) f =W nc if some forces are nonconservative. W nc =work done by non-conservative forces. Example: throwing a snowball from a building taking into account air resistance
