How does a stream's gradient affect its velocity?
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
What is the rate of change of velocity with distance called?
Known to be "VELOCITY GRADIENT"
What are the units of velocity gradient?
The velocity gradient (du/dy) where du is the change in velocity and dy is the change in distance between plates, would have units of (1/time) or (1/sec).Hope this helps!
How is acceleration obtained from a velocity line graph?
the gradient of the graph
How do you calculate deceleration on a velocity time graph?
It is the downward gradient of the graph.
How does a stream's gradient affect its velocity?
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
How gradient afects a streams erosive energy?
what are three factors that affect rate of stream erosion
How does an increase in a streams velocity affect its discharge and carrying capacity?
When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.
Stream velocity is faster in a?
Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
How does the gradient of a river affect its flow?
The gradient of a river is mostly flat or downhill which means that as the water flows it is affected by gravity. The steeper the gradient goes downhill, the more gravity will affect the water which will make the water flow faster (increases the velocity).
Do streams lose velocity when they join larger streams?
false
What is the rate of change of velocity with distance called?
Known to be "VELOCITY GRADIENT"
What does the River flow velocity depends on?
the gradient and how much friction there was. The gradient means how steep the land the river is on so if it is very steep them the velocity will be higher.
What is the definition of velocity gradient?
With respect to material being sheared, velocity gradient is the change dv in relative velocity v between parallel planes with respect to the change dr in perpendicular distance r throughout the depth of the material. Velocity gradient has the same dimensions as rate of shear, which is reciprocal seconds.
Ture or false streams lose velocity when they join larger streams?
ture
What are high altitude high velocity of air called?
jet streams
