An object has several forces acting on it. One force is F = axfi, a force in the x- (1) It starts at the origin and moves along the y-axis to the point x = 0, y = 1.50 m; (2) it moves parallel to the x-axis to the point x = 1.50 m, Y = 1.50 m;
(3) it moves parallel to the y-axis to the point x = 1.50 m, Y = 0; (4) it moves parallel to the x-axis back to the origin. (a) Sketch this path in the xy-plane.
(b) Calculate the work done on the object by F for each leg of the path and for the complete round trip. (c) Is F conservative or non-conservative? Explain.
