A particle is taken from point A to point B under the influence of a force field. Now it is taken back from B to A and it is observed that the work done in taking the particle from A to B is not equal to the work done in taking it from B to A. If `W_(nc)` and `W_c` are the work done by non-conservative and conservative forces present in the system, respectively, `DeltaU` is the change in potential energy and `Deltak` is the change in kinetic energy, then

A

(a) `W_(nc)-DeltaU=Deltak`

B

(b) `W_c=-DeltaU`

C

(c) `W_(nc)+W_(c)=Deltak`

D

(d) `W_(nc)-DeltaU=-Deltak`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation based on the principles of work, energy, and the characteristics of conservative and non-conservative forces. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Work-Energy Theorem**: The work-energy theorem states that the total work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ W_{total} = \Delta K \] where \(W_{total}\) is the total work done by all forces acting on the particle, and \(\Delta K\) is the change in kinetic energy. **Hint**: Recall that the total work done includes contributions from both conservative and non-conservative forces. 2. **Separating Work Done by Forces**: The total work done can be separated into work done by conservative forces (\(W_c\)) and work done by non-conservative forces (\(W_{nc}\)): \[ W_{total} = W_c + W_{nc} \] Therefore, we can rewrite the work-energy theorem as: \[ W_c + W_{nc} = \Delta K \] **Hint**: Identify the types of forces acting on the particle and how they contribute to the work done. 3. **Work Done by Conservative Forces**: For conservative forces, the work done is related to the change in potential energy (\(U\)). The work done by conservative forces can be expressed as: \[ W_c = -\Delta U \] where \(\Delta U\) is the change in potential energy. **Hint**: Remember that the work done by conservative forces is path-independent and depends only on the initial and final positions. 4. **Combining the Equations**: Substituting the expression for \(W_c\) into the work-energy theorem gives us: \[ -\Delta U + W_{nc} = \Delta K \] Rearranging this, we find: \[ W_{nc} = \Delta K + \Delta U \] **Hint**: This equation shows how non-conservative work relates to changes in kinetic and potential energy. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, we can conclude that: - The work done by conservative forces is equal to the negative change in potential energy. - The total work done includes contributions from both conservative and non-conservative forces, leading to changes in kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct statements based on the relationships derived are: - \(W_c = -\Delta U\) - \(W_{nc} + W_c = \Delta K\) - \(W_{nc} = \Delta K + \Delta U\) The correct options are A, B, and C. ### Final Answer: The correct options are A, B, and C.
