All the given statements are true except the velocity gradients normal to the flow direction are small since these are not normally small. It's true that viscous effects are present only inside the boundary layer and the fluid velocity equals the free stream velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. Moreover, Reynolds number is greater than unity and the fluid velocity is zero at the surface of the object.
The coil polarity in a waste-spark system is determined by the direction in which the coil is wound (left-hand rule for conventional current flow)and can’t be changed. For example, if a V-8 engine has a firing order of 18436572 and the number 1 cylinder is on compression, which cylinder will be on the exhaust stroke?
