Concept Card: Conservative vs. Non-Conservative Forces & Mechanical Energy Conservation 1. Conservative Forces – Definitions & Criteria: A force field $\vec{F}_c$ is conservative if the work done by it in moving a particle between two points depends solely on the initial and final position coordinates, being completely independent of the path taken. Closed-Loop Criterion: The … Read more
