Practice Questions

Question 1

Which statement best describes time stepping in a simulation?

Question 2

If a simulation starts at $t=0$ and uses a time step of $\Delta t=0.5\text{ s}$, what is the time after $6$ steps?

Question 3

What does the time step $\Delta t$ control in a time-stepping simulation?

Question 4

Which formula is the forward Euler update for the ordinary differential equation $\frac{dy}{dt}=f(t,y)$?

Question 5

If the total simulated time is $10\text{ s}$ and the time step is $2\text{ s}$, how many equal steps are needed to reach the final time from $0\text{ s}$?
