Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid particle moves with an initial velocity of 3 m/s and experiences a local acceleration of 2 m/s² over 5 seconds. Calculate the final velocity and also determine if there is a convective acceleration present if the particle is at rest initially.

💡 Hint: Use the basic kinematic equations.

Question 2

Given a situation where a fluid particle experiences local acceleration of 4 m/s² and convective acceleration of 3 m/s². What is the total acceleration, and explain the physical significance of each component?

💡 Hint: Consider both effects on fluid particles during flow.
