The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given forces is a non-conservative force, we first need to understand the definition of conservative and non-conservative forces. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conservative Forces**: - A conservative force is defined as a force for which the work done is independent of the path taken. The work done by conservative forces depends only on the initial and final positions. - Examples of conservative forces include gravitational force and spring force. 2. **Identifying the Given Forces**: - We have four options to evaluate: - Option A: \(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}\) - Option B: \(4x \hat{i} + 3y \hat{j}\) - Option C: \(3x^2 \hat{i} + 4y^2 \hat{j}\) - Option D: \(y^2 \hat{i} + x^2 \hat{j}\) 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option A**: \(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}\) - This is a constant force and does not depend on position. It is a conservative force. - **Option B**: \(4x \hat{i} + 3y \hat{j}\) - This force depends on the position (x and y). It meets the criteria for a conservative force. - **Option C**: \(3x^2 \hat{i} + 4y^2 \hat{j}\) - This force also depends on the position (x and y). It is a conservative force. - **Option D**: \(y^2 \hat{i} + x^2 \hat{j}\) - Here, the force components do not follow the required format of having \(x\) with \(\hat{i}\) and \(y\) with \(\hat{j}\). This indicates that the work done by this force depends on the path taken, making it a non-conservative force. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations, the non-conservative force among the options is **Option D: \(y^2 \hat{i} + x^2 \hat{j}\)**. ### Final Answer: **Option D** is the non-conservative force. ---
