3Question 3.
What characterizes one-dimensional flow?
- Velocity is constant
- Changes in one direction
- Chaotic motion
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
True or False: In turbulent flow, fluid particles follow orderly paths.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how water behaves in a turbulent river.
Question 5.
A water pipe has a known diameter and a turbulent flow. If the water’s velocity fluctuates, how would you calculate the average flow rate?
Show hintHide hint
Flow rate is area times velocity.
Question 6.
In a tank with steady flow entering and exiting, how would you determine if the flow is uniform?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definitions of uniform and steady flow.
