Lecture
Conservative and Non-Conservative Forces
Description
This lecture covers the concepts of conservative and non-conservative forces, including path independence for gravity, path dependence for friction, and the definition of conservative and non-conservative forces based on the work done between two points. It also summarizes the work and kinetic energy relationship, providing examples and special cases.
