True or false: (a) Only conservative forces can do work.

Chapter , Problem 7

(choose chapter or problem)

True or false: (a) Only conservative forces can do work. (b) If only conservative forces act on a particle, the kinetic energy of the particle cannot change. (c) The work done by a conservative force equals the change in the potential energy associated with that force. (d) If, for a particle constrained to the x axis, the potential energy associated with a conservative force decreases as the particle moves to the right, then the force points to the left. (e) If, for a particle constrained to the x axis, a conservative force points to the right, then the potential energy associated with the force increases as the particle moves to the left.
