Identify the false statement from the following

Question

Identify the false statement from the following (A) Work-energy theorem is not independent of Newtons second law (B) Work-energy theorem holds in all inertial frames (C) Work done by friction over a closed path is zero (D) No potential energy can be associated with friction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Friction is a non-conservative force. Work done by a non-conservative force over a closed path is not zero. Hence, option is a false statement. While all other statements are correct.

Q. Identify the false statement from the following

Work-energy theorem is not independent of Newtons second law

Work-energy theorem holds in all inertial frames

Work done by friction over a closed path is zero

No potential energy can be associated with friction

Work done is a scalar quantity

Friction is a non-conservative force. Work done by a non-conservative force over a closed path is not zero. Hence, option is a false statement. While all other statements are correct.
