Conservative Force and Potential Energy

The equation which relates a conservative force to potential energy is derived. Examples are shown which prove the equation to be correct. An example is worked through and a gravitational comparison is made. Want Lecture Notes? http://www.flippingphysics.com/conser... This is an AP Physics C: Mechanics topic.
