Hello all,
I was wondering if it was possible to have energy without an associated force. More specifically, can there be an energy change in a system without a net force? From what I know, this SHOULD be impossible because energy is the integral of the work function which depends on force. On the other hand, would it be correct to say it is possible to have net forces acting on a system with no net energy change?
