Show that the following statements are equivalent:

(i) "A force is called conservative if the work it does on a system along any closed path is zero."

(ii) "A force is called conservative if the work it does on a system to move it from configuration (a) to configuration (b) is independent of the chosen path."

An object is resting (x-y plane) on a frictionless surface and is subject to the following force: F_net=Ay(cos(pi*x/B))i +Ax(sin(pi*y/B))j where A = 1.0 N/m and B = 1.0 m. The object may move from the origin to (1.0 m, 1.0 m) by one of two paths: Path a: Origin to (1.0m, 0.0 m), then to (1.0 m, 1.0 m) Path b: Origin to (0.0m, 1.0 m), then to (1.0 m, 1.0 m) If the object follows path b, the work...

1 point) Find the work done by F along different paths between (1,0,1) and (1,1,0). You might simplify your computation by writing F=G+H=∇g+H, so that you have a decomposition ofFF into a conservative vector field and a simpler non-conservative vector field. F=〈e^(yz)+2y, xze^(yz)+zcos(y)−3z, xye^(yz)+sin(y)−2x〉 (a) The path is the straight line path between those two points. (Hint: the answer is not 2, 4, or 0.) Work is  . (b) The path consists of the line segment from (1,0,1) to the origin,...
