Mechanical energy is conserved if which forces are absent?
AFriction-like dissipative forces
BConservative gravity forces
CConservative electric forces
DConservative spring forces
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Friction-like dissipative forces
Friction converts mechanical energy to heat, so conservation holds only when such losses are negligible.
