7. Physics 101: Lecture 10, Pg 7 Conservation ACT Which of the following statements correctly define a Conservative Force: A. A force is conservative when the work it does on a moving object is independent of the path of the motion between the object's initial and final positions. B. A force is conservative when it does no net work on an object moving around a closed path, starting and finishing at the same point. C. Both of the above statements are correct. D. Neither of the above statements is correct. 23

8. Physics 101: Lecture 10, Pg 8 Skiing Example (no friction) A skier goes down a 78 meter high hill with a variety of slopes. What is the maximum speed she can obtain if she starts from rest at the top? 26
