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 effort required to capture a tiger in the wild


c.the energy released by the combustion of a gallon of gasoline


d.the work generated by the body of an athlete as it metabolizes the sucrose in a cube of sugar


e.the heat evolved when a cube of sugar is oxidized to CO2(g) and H2O(g)


f.the amount of work required to build a house


g.the distance travelled by a steer in a rodeo attempting to evade capture

Explanation / Answer

a.the elevation increase experienced by a traveller travelling from Grand Isle, LA to Denver, Colorado

This is INDEPENDENT of the path because you can go by plane or by bus and the change beetween the two places will be the same

b.the effort required to capture a tiger in the wild
DEPENDENT: If you use a gun is easier than if you use a slingshot, also a hard terrain makes it harder to capture

c.the energy released by the combustion of a gallon of gasoline
Independant: The energy will always be the same

d.the work generated by the body of an athlete as it metabolizes the sucrose in a cube of sugar
THE WORK is dependant because if it goes to the adipocites to store it can lose some energy to become into work, and if it goes to the muscles cells directly it will generate more work

e.the heat evolved when a cube of sugar is oxidized to CO2(g) and H2O(g)
INDEPENDANT: it comes directl form the molecular bonds of the sugar

f.the amount of work required to build a house
INDEPENDANT: the work is always the same, the POTENCY can change

g.the distance travelled by a steer in a rodeo attempting to evade capture

DEPENDANT: smaller the arena, less distance
