• Card 17 / 41: Which of the following statements best describes the difference between a pathline and a streakline?
    A) A pathline corresponds to the locations of displacements resulting from instantaneous labeling at a point and continuous observation, and the streakline corresponds to the converse.
    B) A streakline results from the locations of displacements resulting from instantaneous labeling at a point and continuous observation, and the pathline corresponds to the converse.
    C) There is no difference.
    D) The streakline and the pathline characterize different flow speeds.

    Answer:
    A) A pathline corresponds to the locations of displacements resulting from instantaneous labeling at a point and continuous observation, and the streakline corresponds to the converse.
