What affects do floods have on rivers?
they increase both their volume and speed [of the river]
How does the unit for speed relate to the formula for speed?
they both relate to distance.
Why does erosion of a riverbed increase so much during flood times?
There is a much higher volume of water, and increased speed in a river that is in flood. This increase in force will move stones and boulders, scouring the river's bed.
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!
What is the speed of the Yangtze river?
The speed of the river is 43 mph.
What is the volume of the Mississippi river?
The volume of the Mississippi River is approximately 2.4 cubic inches.
How would density relate to liter?
Liter is a measure of volume. Volume = mass/density.
What is the term for the speed of a river?
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
If a deep river is faster why doesnt the larger wetted perimeter increase friction and slow down the speed of the river?
The speed of a river is affected by the amount of friction slowing down the water and the grade or fall of the river. The amount of friction is determined by how rough the bed or wetted perimeter is, and how big the perimeter is. A wide shallow river or a very deep and narrow river with the same volume and grade will be in contact with similar areas of river bed, causing the same amount of friction. But a river with a semi circular shape in cross section and the same volume and grade will have less contact area with the river bed and will therefore have less friction and be faster. The steeper the grade of the river, the faster it will flow.
How does physical science relate to mass volume and density?
The density is the ratio between mass and volume. So density = mass / volume
Does density relate mass to volume?
D=m/v Density equals mass divided by volume.
