If only these forces act then the mechanical energy of the system remains conserved. Conservative and nonconservative forces university physics. To put it another way, the work done depends only on the initial and final position of the particle relative to some coordinate system.
Whats fundamental is that were able to assign a number to the state of a system, and that number is conserved. As illustrated in figure 1, work done against friction depends on the length of the path between the starting and ending points. A force that acts on an object is said to be conservative if a it obeys newtons laws of motion. On the other hand, if you cant get that work back later, then the force is nonconservative.

Il faudrait commencer par ce vous appelait force dinertie. Are there other differences between conservative and nonconservative forces. Forces themselves are not conserved, only balanced by newtons second law that said that when two bodies a and b interact, with body a exerting a force f on body b, that force must be paired off by a force f of body b exerted on b.
