Which of the following statement is correct about non-conservative force?

Question

Which of the following statement is correct about non-conservative force? (A) It depends on velocity of the object. (B) It depends on the particular path taken by the object. (C) It depend on the initial and final positions of the object. (D) Both(a) and (b)

If the work done or the kinetic energy depend on other factors such as the velocity or the particular path taken by the object, the force would be called non-conservative.
Thus, the statements given in options (a) and (b) are correct, rest is incorrect.

Q. Which of the following statement is correct about non-conservative force?

It depends on velocity of the object.

It depends on the particular path taken by the object.

It depend on the initial and final positions of the object.

Both(a) and (b)

If the work done or the kinetic energy depend on other factors such as the velocity or the particular path taken by the object, the force would be called non-conservative. Thus, the statements given in options (a) and (b) are correct, rest is incorrect.
