It is independent of the path travelled. Its depend only on initial and final position and is a example of conservative force.
True. The distance traveled is a scalar quantity that only depends on the initial and final positions, regardless of the path taken between them. This is known as the distance traveled being independent of the path.
A force is path-independent if it depends only on the initial and final positions, and not on the path taken between them. A force that is not path-dependent conserves mechanical energy of an object, meaning that the total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential energy) remains constant.
The greatest type of energy at the bottom of a swing's path is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The potential energy at the top of the swing is converted to kinetic energy as the swing reaches the bottom of its arc.
For a physical meaning, take potential energy as an example. To raise an object from one position to another position one meter higher takes a certain amount of energy - the potential energy of the object increases. The amount of energy is independent of the path the object takes - whether it goes straight up, in zigzag, etc.
Distance is independent of path, as it is the total length traveled from point A to point B, regardless of the route taken. Displacement, on the other hand, is the shortest distance between the initial and final points and is also independent of path.
Internal energy of a system is independent of the path taken, i.e., it only depends on the initial and final states of the system.
A path to follow and electric potential.
When electrons move through a closed path, they possess kinetic energy due to their motion. As they move against an electric field, they also have potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy as they move. This interplay between kinetic and potential energy is essential for the flow of electrons in a closed circuit.
At the bottom of its path, the ball has kinetic energy due to its motion, gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground, and some of its initial potential energy may have been converted to kinetic energy as it fell.
Current will flow if there is a difference of potential energy and a path between those points.
State quantities are dependent on path,and path quantities do not depend on path.for example:we want to travel from one city to another and we have different routes to travel by,so the distance traveled depends on that which one route is taken,so the distance traveled is a path quantity,well the city current where we are at times does not depend on the path we took,so it is state quantity
Gravitational potential energy itself is not dangerous. However, if a system with high gravitational potential energy, such as a large boulder on a hill, were to suddenly release that energy (by rolling down the hill, for example), it could be dangerous to anything in its path.
