One of the forces acting on a particle is conservative then which of the following statement(s) are true about this conservative force :
- Its work is zero when the particle moves exactly once around any closed path.
- Its work equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle
- Then that particular force must be constant.
- Its work depends on the end points of the motion, not on the path between.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
- The work done by a conservative force is zero.
- The conservative force may or may not be constant.
