List some everyday forces that are not conservative, and explain why they aren’t.

The non-conservative forces and to explain the reason why they are not conservative.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Some non-conservative forces in daily life experience are frictional force, air resistance and muscular forces.
Explanation of Solution
Conservative forces are forces in which the work done by the forces are state function. It depends only on initial and final position and not on path along which the force is applied. A non-conservative force is force in which the work done by the force depends on the path.
Frictional force is an example of non-conservative force, since it dissipates energy in the form of heat, sound and light. Air resistance is an example of non-conservative force. It dissipates the energy of the object in the form of heat and kinetic energy of the fluid. There are certain “Human” forces that are produced by muscles. They dissipate energy through chemical process and in the form of heat.
Conclusion:
Thus, some non-conservative forces in daily life experience are frictional force, air resistance and muscular forces.

- A spectra is a graph that has amplitude on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis. A harmonic spectra simply draws a vertical line at each frequency that a harmonic would be produced. The height of the line indicates the amplitude at which that harmonic would be produced. If the Fo of a sound is 125 Hz, please sketch a spectra (amplitude on the Y axis, frequency on the X axis) of the harmonic series up to the 4th harmonic. Include actual values on Y and X axis.arrow_forwardSketch a sign wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forwardSketch a sine wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forward
