Week 04

The document contains 10 multiple choice questions related to normal shock waves in gas flow. Question 1 asks for the Mach number of a gas flow given the velocity and temperature. Question 2 asks for the Mach numbers upstream and downstream of a normal shock given the conditions in Question 1. Question 3 asks about the type of compression process that occurs across the normal shock. The remaining questions provide additional conditions and ask about properties like Mach number, pressure, temperature, density changes, and entropy changes across a normal shock.
