... Version 1 A force is conservative when the work it does on a moving object is independent of the path between the object’s initial and final positions. Version 2 A force is conservative when it does no net work on an object moving around a closed path, starting and finishing at the same point. ...

For example, the amount of work done on a textbook if you push it straight across a table is less than the amount of work done if you were to push it back and forth as you move it down the table. This means that the force of friction is a nonconservative for ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
