Question

Imagine that you are climbing a mountain. (b) Is the
change in elevation between your base camp and the peak
a state function?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here. We have a problem. Asking us to consider the following scenario. You're about to go to your friend's house to hang out. You were just about to leave your house when they messaged you that you should bring some snacks so you took a detour to buy something to eat. Is the distance between your house and your friend's house a state function? It is asking purely about the distance between your house and your friend's house. It's not asking about your detour to buy something to eat. So a state function. The path doesn't matter. The distance between your house and your friend's house is going to stay the same no matter what path you take. So this is a state function and that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
