If a block moves from a height h above the ground then the work done by the gravitational force is given by_______
Non-Conservative field-
In Non- conservative field, work done by the force depends on the path followed between any two positions/points.
In Non-conservative field, work done by the force along a closed path is non-zero.
Non-Conservative Force-
The forces corresponding to Non-Conservative field are known as non-conservative forces.
Non-Conservative Force is dissipative.
Example: Frictional force, Viscous force
So,
The block moves from the height h to the ground, then work done is given by
.
Negative sign is because the work done is in the opposite direction of the motion of the body.
