Hello!

I have to find the streamlines of the following velocity fields:

1. u=x(1+2t), v=y
2. u=xy, v=0

I have done the following:

1. ##\frac{dx}{u}=\frac{dy}{v} \Rightarrow \frac{dx}{x(1+2t)}=\frac{dy}{y} \Rightarrow \frac{\ln x}{1+2t}=\ln y+c \Rightarrow y=Ce^{\frac{\ln x}{1+2t}} \Rightarrow y=Cx^{\frac{1}{1+2t}}##

Is this correct??

2. ##\frac{dx}{u}=\frac{dy}{v} \Rightarrow \frac{dx}{xy}=\frac{dy}{0}##

How could we continue??

Sorry I can't help you but any homework problems must use the homework template! It will look neater, and is one of the rules of the forum.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
