what is the formula for non-conservative forces

OpenStudy (experimentx):

they have different formulas!! for friction it's something like this \[ F = -\mu N\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, for an occasion when a object goes down a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they say that change in KE and PE is the non-conservative

OpenStudy (experimentx):

KE and PE are not forces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, sorry for my wording but friction is involved in these energies

OpenStudy (experimentx):

well ...friction, air resistances is involved ...so??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I get you point

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Frictional forces are involved ... that does not make gravitational force non conservative ... if you consider motion of particles without friction ... it will be independent of path ... only dependent on final and initial position!!

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

\(\vec\nabla \times \vec F\neq \vec 0\)
