A state function.
No. Displacement is just the final location minus the initial location, regardless of the path.
Internal energy of a system is independent of the path taken, i.e., it only depends on the initial and final states of the system.
The work done by a conservative force is independent of the path taken and only depends on the initial and final positions of an object.
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.
A point function is a function whose value depends only on the state of a system at a single point, regardless of the path taken to reach that state. Examples include pressure, temperature, and density. In contrast, a path function depends on the path taken to reach a particular state and not just the initial and final states of a system. Examples include work and heat.
Yes, volume is a state function in thermodynamics, meaning it depends only on the initial and final states of a system and not on the path taken to reach those states.
No, entropy is a state function, which means it depends only on the initial and final states of a system and not the path taken to reach those states.
You can't.You only know what half the sum of (initial + final) is, (it's the average), but you don't know what the initial and final are.
No. Displacement is just the final location minus the initial location, regardless of the path.
In mechanics,work done(work=force.displacement of body) by a body is independent of path.It only depends on the initial and final state of the body.However in thermodynamics,the work done by an ideal gas(work=pressure.change in volume of gas) depends on the path taken(isochoric,isothermal,isobaric,adiabatic)

Average speed = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) Time = (distance)/(average speed)
You can use the equation: Displacement = (final velocity squared - initial velocity squared) / (2 * acceleration). Plug in the values of final velocity, initial velocity, and acceleration to calculate the displacement.
v = 2s/t - u where u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, s = distance and t = time
No, the overall enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is independent of the reaction pathway. This is because enthalpy is a state function, meaning it only depends on the initial and final states of the system, not on how the system reached those states.
