STANDARD Physics Conservative Forces MCQ Question
The negative of the work done by the conservative internal forces on a system equals to the change in
total energy
kinetic energy
potential energy
none of these
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The work done by conservative forces is related to the potential energy of the system. The negative of the work done by these forces results in a change in potential energy.
