Question: A velocity field is given by the equations u = 4 m s , v = ( 0 . 5 x 2 + 2 )

A velocity field is given by the equations u=4ms,v=(0.5x2+2)ms, where x is in
meters.
-What is the velocity magnitude at the point )=1m,y=(1m?
What is the equation of the streamline that goes through the point (x=1m,y=1
m?
What is the acceleration of a particle at the point )=1m,y=(1m?(Hint:
calculate the acceleration in cartesian coordinates.)
What is the derivative of the velocity magnitude in the streamline direction (delVdels)
at the point )=1m,y=(1m?(Hint: Use your previous result for the acceleration,
calculate the acceleration in the streamline direction, and relate that acceleration
along a streamline.)
A velocity field is given by the equations u = 4
