P11 Conservative Force

A force compresses a spring of spring constant 20 N/m by 0.1 m. Determine the potential energy stored in the spring is (____ \(\times 10^{-3}\) joules)

In a conservative force field, the total \(\text{mechanical}\) energy of an object is conserved when:

If an object moves in a gravitational field and returns to its initial height, the net work done by gravity is:

Which of the following is an example of a conservative force?

A force is considered conservative if:
