42
Q

What is a restoring force (shm)?

A

Acceleration directed towards the center of oscillation and proportional to the distance

43

52
Q

What are work and energy in relation to each other? and what does that imply?

A

They are homogenous quantities which means they have the same unit of measurement

W=?
(work done on object)

A

Change in kinetic energy

60
Q

What is the change in kinetic energy in a conservative field?

A

Zero as the work done is also zero

61
Q

What is the work done along a closed trajectory in dissipative forces?
