This lecture extends the Law of Conservation of Energy to higher dimensions, introducing work in 2D, defining conservative and non-conservative forces, and applying the cross derivative test for potential energy equations.

PhysicsClassical & Statistical MechanicsCalculus & AnalysisClassical MechanicsConservative Forces

The discussion on the Law of Conservation of Energy continues but is applied in higher dimensions. The notion of a function with two variables is reviewed. Conservative forces are explained and students are taught how to recognize and manufacture them.

This course was recorded in Fall 2006.
