Which one of the following choices is an example of a non-conservative force?
A)gravitational force
B)electrical force
C)kinetic frictional force
D)elastic spring force

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kinetic frictional force is an example of a non-conservative force because it dissipates energy in the form of heat and cannot be derived from a potential energy function. In contrast, gravitational force, electrical force, and elastic spring force are conservative forces as they can be derived from potential energy functions.
