Is a strait path that begins at point and goes on forever?
If you mean a straight path, rather than a strait path, then it is a ray.
The depth of a lake at a center point which is a function of the distance of that point from shore?
The depth of a lake at a center point is a function of the distance of that point from shore.
How does my knowledge of polynomial function prepare me to understand rational function?
A rational function is the quotient of two polynomial functions.
How do graphs help you understand functions?
Typically, functions are graphed on x-y coordinates. A function of x means that for every x point, there must be a single y point. You can also many properties by graphing a function, such as the minimum and maximum points, slopes and inflection points, and the inverse of the function (y values plotted on x coordinate, and x values on y coordinate).
What is the shortest path between a line and a point not on that line?
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
Define point function and path function?
Point function and path function are found in Thermodynamics.
What is the difference between path function and state function?
state function did not depend on the path , it depends on the initial and final point of the system where as path function depends on the path of the reaction.
What is difference between path function and point function in thermodyanaMICS?
Path function: Their magnitudes depend on the path followed during a process as well as the end states. Work (W), heat (Q) are path functions.The cyclic integral of a path function is non-zero. work and heat are path functions.Point Function: They depend on the state only, and not on how a system reaches that state. All properties are point functions.The cyclic integral of a point function is zero. properties are point functions, (ie pressure,volume,temperature and entropy).
What is path function in thermodynamics?
a function whose magnitude depends on the path followed by the function and on the end points.
What are path functions?
a function whose magnitude depends on the path followed by the function and on the end points.
What is point function in thermodynamics?
A path function is one where it the value of the function depends on the path you took from the initial and final state. Work and Heat are path functions. A "point function" is one that only has points as values rather than being continuous. The only point functions in thermodynamics are where the thermodynamic conditions are fully constrained - such as pure component triple points and critical points. At the triple point vapor, liquid, and solid can coexist in equilibrium. That only happens at a single temperature and pressure. Likewise, the critical point only occurs at the critical temperature and pressure. If you have a mixture, you get a continuous function over a composition range rather than a single point. If by "point function" the questioner meant to refer to those functions/properties where the value only depends on the point where you start and the point where you end, the correct name is "state function". In thermodynamics changes in internal energy, enthalpy, Helmoltz energy, and Gibbs free energy depend only on starting and ending conditions and are State Functions.
How do you be safe with electricity?
First, understand it. Electricity is an energy source that can be at levels far higher that what your body can absorb. Understand that commercial power runs through a current path, typically through wires from from point to point, usually from hot to neutral, but if your body provides a path to ground, you become a part of that "point to point" current path. You need to be aware when any part of your body can become part of that current path. Knowing the laws of nature that govern electricity is the best way to avoid electrical hazards. As an energy source, electricity can cause devices to overheat, resulting in fire danger. Electrical sparks can ignite explosive gasses. As with any potentially dangerous activity, you should understand what you're doing before you work with something with that much power.
Is the distance traveled a state function or path function?
Its a path function......but DISPLACEMENT is a state function.Distance depends on the path we followed from one state to another but displacement is a straight distance so it depends upon the states.

What are the function of switches?
The function of a switch is to open or close a path for electricity.
What is the path of a moving point?
very often a curve is defined as the path, or locus, of a point which moves according to a given law.
How heat is a path function?
Heat capacity is NOT a path function. It is a STATE function. It depends on the phase of the material, the temperature and the pressure. Usually heat capacity is known at some particular condition and then a calculation is required to estimate it at the condition of interest. Performing these calculations should always result in the same final value no matter the path you took to get to the value - hence it is a STATE function rather than PATH. Path functions would be things like WORK and HEAT (for which the state function "heat capacity" might be used in the calculations)
