Intermediate Activities: Boundary

1.	The distance from the original surface to the layer of the flow traveling at the original velocity is called the boundary layer thickness. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

2.	In general, the boundary layer gets thicker as the flow moves along the surface. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

3.	How fast and how big the boundary layer grows depends on the smoothness and shape of the surface and the velocity of the liquid. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

4.	Because of friction, when a fluid flows over a surface, an interesting pattern develops. The fluid actually stops; there is no velocity or movement at the surface. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False
