Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What defines local acceleration?

  • Change in velocity over time
  • Change in position over time
  • Change in velocity due to motion

💡 Hint: Reflect on how speed changes with time at fixed points.

Question 2

True or False: Convective acceleration is solely dependent on time changes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the movement of fluid particles across different areas.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the velocity profile V(x,y,z) = (3y^2 - z, -2x + z, 5x + 4y), calculate the local and convective acceleration at the point (2, 1, 3).

💡 Hint: Use partial derivatives with respect to each spatial component.

Question 2

A fluid flows through a pipe with varying cross-sections. Explain how local and convective acceleration would change when moving from a wide section to a narrow section.

💡 Hint: Think about how velocity must adapt as forced through a smaller area.
