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.

- The Flybar high-tech pogo stick is advertised as being capable of launching jumpers up to 6 ft. The ad says that the minimum weight of a jumper is 120 lb and the maximum weight is 250 lb. It also says that the pogo stick uses a patented system of elastometric rubber springs that provides up to 1200 lbs of thrust, something common helical spring sticks simply cannot achieve (rubber has 10 times the energy storing capability of steel). a. Use Figure P8.32 to estimate the maximum compression of the pogo sticks spring. Include the uncertainty in your estimate. b. What is the effective spring constant of the elastometric rubber springs? Comment on the claim that rubber has 10 times the energy-storing capability of steel. c. Check the ads claim that the maximum height a jumper can achieve is 6 ft.arrow_forwardConsider the following scenario. A car for which friction is not negligible accelerates from rest down a hill, running out of gasoline after a short distance (see below). The driver lets the car coast farther down the hill, then up and over a small crest. He then coasts down that hill into a gas station, where he brakes to a stop and fills that tank with gasoline. Identify the forms of energy the car has, and how they are changed and transferred in this series of events.arrow_forwardGive an example of a situation in which there is a force and a displacement, but the force does no work.
