Practice Questions

Question 1

A thermal simulation reports $T(10)=95^\circ\text{C}$. What does this result mean physically?

Question 2

A displacement model reports $x(5)=12\text{ m}$. What does this mean physically?

Question 3

If a force model gives $F=0\text{ N}$ at an instant, what is the best interpretation?

Question 4

A velocity value is $-3\text{ m/s}$. What does the negative sign tell you?

Question 5

Two simulations of the same system use different time steps and give slightly different results. What is the most likely reason?
