On standard axes, Mia sketches F(x, y) = (0, -2) with every arrow pointing up. Does her sketch match the field?
Circle one: True False
For F(x, y) = (-2y, x + 1), which vector is attached to the point (2, -3)?
What does a vector field assign to each point?
A force field is dotted with each small displacement along a path. What does the line integral of these contributions measure?
A wire is r(t) = (3t, 4t), 0 <= t <= 2, with coordinates in centimetres. Its linear density is f(x, y) = 1 + x grams per centimetre. Find its mass in grams.
Answer: ______________
For the force field F(x, y) = (y, x), compute the work along r(t) = (t, t²), 0 <= t <= 1. This follows y = x² from (0, 0) to (1, 1).
Answer: ______________
You evaluate ∫C F dot dr, then reverse the same traversal while keeping F fixed. What happens to the integral?
For the constant field F(x, y) = (3, -2), evaluate ∫C F dot dr along the straight segment from (1, -1) to (5, 2).
Answer: ______________
A student uses ∫C |F| ds to calculate work done by a force field. Why can this differ from ∫C F dot dr?
A velocity-field sketch shows nonzero arrows tangent to concentric circles, all in the same sense around their centre. Which flow pattern does this describe?
