One of the forces acting on the particle...

One of the forces acting on the particle is conservative, then

A

Its work is zero when the particle moves exactly once around any closed path.

B

its work equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle

C

Then that particular force must be constant.

D

Its work depends on the end points of the motion, not on the path between.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
Only the following statement are true from definition of a conservative force.
Its work is zero when the particle moves exactly once around any closed path.
Its work depends on the end point of the motion, not on the path between.

Statement 1: A charged particle undergoes non-rectilinear motion in a constant magnetic field. The only force acting on the particle is the magnetic force. Then kinetic energy of this particle remains constant but momentum of the particle does not remains constant. Statement 2: A force that always acts on the particle in direction perpendicular to its velocity does no work on the particle. But whenever a force acts on the particle, momentum of the particle does not remains constant.
