Conservative Forces and Potential Energy
A particle moves along the x-axis from x = 1 m to x = 3 m under the influence of a force given by F(x) = (3x² + 2) N. Which of the following statements about this force is correct?
A
The work cannot be calculated without knowing the time
B
It is non-conservative because F depends on position
C
The work done is zero because the force varies
D
It is conservative and has an associated potential energy
