Question
Choose all of the processes from below which describe changes which are independent of the path by which the change occurs.
a) the elevation increase experienced by a traveller travelling from Grand Isle, LA to Denver, Colorado
b) the heat generated by the body of a student during a chemistry exam
c) the change in the score of a football game as the game progresses
D) the longitude decrease experienced by a traveller travelling from Baton Rouge, LA to London, England
e) the work generated by a homogeneous gaseous chemical reaction carried out inside of a bomb calorimeter
f) the time required to work a chemistry exam
g) kinetic energy lost by an automobile after crashing into a tree and stopping
Explanation / Answer
The changes a, c and d are independent of the path by which the change occurs.
The elevation between two cities is constant and does not depend on which path we follow to travel from one city to another.
The score of football game does not depends on the path followed. It depends on how many goals we have done.
The longitude is independant of the path followed.
