Equipotential curves Consider the following potential functions and graphs of their equipotential curves.
a. Find the associated gradient field F = ▿ϕ.
b. Show that the vector field is orthogonal to the equipotential curve at the point (1, 1). Illustrate this result on the figure.
c. Show that the vector field is orthogonal to the equipotential curve at all points (x, y).
d. Sketch two flow curves representing F that are everywhere orthogonal to the equipotential curves.

- Plz solve part carrow_forwardA net is dipped in a river. Determine the flow rate of water across the net if the velocity vector field for the river is given by = (x - y, z + y + 9, z) and the net is decribed by the equation y = V1-x - z, y 2 0, and oriented in the positive y- direction.

- Match each of the following three vector fields to one of the four vector fields graphed below (yes, one graph does not have a match), and then explain your thinking: 1. (a) F(x, y) = (2y, 2.r). Match (circle one): I II III IV (b) F(x, y) = (x², 2y). Match (circle one): I II III IV (c) F(x, y) = (x², y²). Match (circle one): I II III IV (d) Explain your choices. Explanation:arrow_forwardDetermine if the vector fields below are conservative. Find potential functions where possible. (a.) F(x, y) = (2x — sin(x + y²), −2y sin(x + y²)) (b.) F(x, y) = (-y, x) (c.)
