How does area affect the speed of a fluid?
The area can affect the speed of a fluid by changing the rate at which the fluid flows. In general, if the area through which the fluid flows is increased, the speed of the fluid will decrease. Similarly, if the area is decreased, the speed of the fluid will increase. This is because the volume of fluid flowing per unit time must remain constant, so if the area increases, the fluid spreads out and slows down, and if the area decreases, the fluid is forced to accelerate.
Does radiation involve heat passing through particles?
Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.
How does the speed of wind affect sediment?
The higher the wind speed, the bigger the particle size.
What is the average speed of the particles of a substance?
The average speed of the particles in a substance is the definition of temperature.
The speed at which new particles form is called?
The speed of which new particles form is called the rate of reaction.
Why the speed of sound is greater in steel than in fluid?
That is because sound waves travel through particles, and solid particles are closer than liquid/gas particles, thus, logically sound wave will travel faster in steel than in a fluid. :)
How does the speed of water affect the sediment deposit?
The greater the streams rate of flow, the greater the amount of erosion, the larger the sediments.
How the normal shock is obtained?
An intuitive approach: As a moving object travels through a fluid, the fluid particles hitting the object transmit information with the speed of sound to the surrounding fluid particles about their encounter with the body. If the speed of the moving object is smaller than the speed of sound the surrounding particles have time to react and "get out of the way"(i.e. the streamlines begin to curve to compensate for the presence of the body) since the perturbation caused by impact propagates with speed of sound. But if the moving object travels with a speed higher than the speed of sound then the surrounding particles can't react(information about the collision hasn't arrive to them prior to the object reaching them). That's how the shock wave is formed. Now, the normal shock is a special case when the speed of the moving object is exactly the speed of sound (or Mach number equals one). In this case you can imagine that the molecules in front of the object form a "wall" perpendicular to the moving direction of the object.
How sediment accumulates?
Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
Does sublimation particles slow down or speed up?
During sublimation, particles will speed up. Sublimation is the transition of a substance to go from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
In a homogeneous mixture of particles are speeds even through out the mixture?
No. The particles have different speeds, and the average speed is used in calculations or discussions.
How does area affect the speed of a fluid?
The area can affect the speed of a fluid by changing the rate at which the fluid flows. In general, if the area through which the fluid flows is increased, the speed of the fluid will decrease. Similarly, if the area is decreased, the speed of the fluid will increase. This is because the volume of fluid flowing per unit time must remain constant, so if the area increases, the fluid spreads out and slows down, and if the area decreases, the fluid is forced to accelerate.
Explain how the physical characteristics of sediments change during transport?
Sediments are transported by four main agents water, ice, wind, and the effects of gravity. The speed with which the agent of erosion moves affects the size of sediment particles that can be carried and the distance that the particles will move.
What happens to the speed of sound when it passes through a solid?
It is reflected because of the way the particles are transmited
How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
Does radiation involve heat passing through particles?
Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.
What is the relationship between the size and speed of river and the sediment it can carry?
