Question 1.
What is the definition of momentum?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how mass and speed relate to movement.
Question 2.
What does a control volume represent?
Show hintHide hint
This term is often used in fluid mechanics for analysis.
3Question 3.
What does conservation of momentum imply in fluid systems?
- Total momentum is constant if no external force acts.
- Total momentum always increases.
- Total momentum can never decrease.
Show hintHide hint
Consider a closed system.
4Question 4.
Momentum flux correction factors are necessary for which of the following?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how velocity variations affect calculations.
Question 5.
A water jet is directed at a surface at a 30-degree angle. Calculate the force exerted on the surface if the jet has a momentum flow rate of 100 kg/s.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how angles affect vector components.
Question 6.
Analyze the momentum change in a control volume with an inlet velocity of 5 m/s and an outlet velocity of 3 m/s. Assume a density of 1,000 kg/m³.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to factor in the densities when calculating momentum.
