What is the gradient of acceleration time graph?
There is not a word for it but it it the rate of change of acceleration.
What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
How does the Concentration gradient of a substance affect the movement of that substance and the expenditure of energy?
The larger the concentration gradient (bigger difference between the two solutes across semipermeable membrane) the faster the rate of diffusion.
What is a gradient?
It is the difference in concentration (molecules of a solute per volume of solution) between two locations. Because of the motion of molecules, they are said to diffuse (move, spread) from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. Some molecules are always moving in the opposite direction, but the overall trend is "down" the gradient until equilibrium is established between the two regions. And, generally, the larger the gradient or difference, the faster the rate of the diffusion.
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.
What does the m in algebra stand for?
If you are talking about linear graphs, m refers to the gradient (aka slope or rate of change).
What does m represent in your equation?
If you are talking about linear graphs, m refers to the gradient (aka slope or rate of change).
If the pressure gradient force's rate of elevation is steep wind velocity is?
---STRONGER
What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement?
Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position, not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure, but how great (or small) the physical distance between them. Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind) the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
Is Oxygen diffusion rate affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide?
No According to my utas quiz :)
What does a steep air pressure gradient cause?
high winds
What influences the rate of diffusion?
The rate of diffusion increases with temperature. The rate of diffusion also increases with the concentration gradient and the surface area.
What do you call the rate at which air pressure changes between high and low pressure areas?
The pressure gradient, which would be expressed as some unit of pressure change (usually millibars but sometimes inches of mercury) per some unit of distance (usually kilometer).The pressure gradient is roughly proportional to wind speed, so sharper pressure gradients mean stronger winds.
Why is diffusion affected by a decrease in concentrated gradient?
Diffusion is affected by a decrease in concentration gradient because concentration gradient is directly proportional to the rate of diffusion. A decrease in concentration gradient also lowers the rate of diffusion.
How does strong wind occur?
Strong winds occur when there is a steep gradient in air pressure, i.e. if the difference in air pressure is large, the air moves from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure at a considerable rate, or velocity.
What does the slop of a gradient represent?
The rate of change
What is gradient in mathematics?
It is the rate of change of a variable.
