Question

Laminar flow, where water moves in approximately straight-line paths, characterizes ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. slow-moving streams.

Explanation:

In Fluid Mechanics, the Reynolds numbers indicates the existence of turbulence in fluid streams. Low Reynolds numbers are related with laminar flow. The Reynolds formula is:

$Re = \frac{\rho_{water} \cdot L_{c}}{\mu_{water}} \cdot v$

The Reynolds number is directly proportional to fluid speed. Hence, slow-moving streams are a sound example of laminar flow. The correct answer is B.
