What decreased the speed of the river?

Many things can decrease the speed of a river. One of the main reasons is a dam or a block in the stream somewhere.

true


More friction between water and streambed will reduce the speed of flowing water.?

true


Why why does bed load change as it goes downstream?

The size of the pebble will decrease down stream because the further downstream you go the quicker the river velocity. This means there will be more abrasion against the sides and bed of the river and the friction will be greater, this wears away the river load making it decrease in size. Increase velocity means that bigger material will be picked up by the river and carried as river load. More load in the river and increased size of load will mean more attrition and the river load will keep colliding into each other smoothening and rounding their shape. Brap brap !!


Which change will most likely increase the velocity of the river?

More current..so you would have to get some sort of a perpeller thingy..something like that. A greater gradient of the riverbed and rainfall can both contribute to increased speeds.


Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?

yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.


How does slopevolume of flow and stream bed shape affect a river's speed?

If a rivers slope increases so does water speed. And as more water flows through a river speed also increases due to the volume of flow. As for the stream bed shape , friction affects river speed when the water is deep. Hope i helped!

If you increase the number of turns in the coil and move a magnet at the same speed will the speed increase or decrease?

no the strength of the magnetic field does not decrease because of the number of coils increases.


Why is retardation called negative acceleration?

retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
