Steady flow: Water flowing through a pipe at a constant rate with uniform velocity is an example of steady flow. Non-steady flow: Waves in the ocean where the water motion is constantly changing in both intensity and direction represent non-steady flow.
Uniform flow occurs when the fluid velocity and properties are constant throughout the flow field, while non-uniform flow has varying velocity and properties across the flow field. In uniform flow, streamlines are parallel and the flow is steady, whereas in non-uniform flow, streamlines may converge or diverge and the flow can be unsteady.
No, a steady force does not always cause a steady acceleration. If other forces are present (like friction or air resistance), they may oppose the force causing a non-steady acceleration. A steady force will only cause a steady acceleration if there are no opposing forces acting on the object.
Uniform flow is a characteristic of ideal fluid behavior, where the fluid moves in a steady and consistent manner without any disturbances or variations in flow velocity or pressure. Ideal fluid assumes that the flow is frictionless, incompressible, and irrotational, which allows for the simplification of fluid dynamics equations. However, in reality, ideal fluids do not exist, and all real fluids exhibit some level of viscosity and other non-ideal behaviors.
The objectives of non-accelerated rectilinear motion are typically to maintain a constant velocity while moving along a straight line. This type of motion is characterized by a constant speed and no change in direction, making it useful for situations where a steady and predictable movement is required.
Constant motion is when an object maintains a steady speed and direction over time, like a car driving at a constant speed on a straight road. Non-constant motion is when the speed or direction of an object changes over time, such as a car accelerating or turning.
