What is the velocity of water?
Depends on the situation, a river can flow at a gentle 2 mph or the sea can race up a shallow beach at 20 mph.
Does water is frictionless?
According to view the friction is force which opposes the relative motion beetween two bodies or surfaces in contact. In case of liquids in our case water the flowing water can be divided into several layers the layer of water which is in contact with the ground of river is at rest that is its velocity=0.then the layer just above the layer in contact with the river bed has a velocity of dv.an thus there exists a velocity gradient.the layer at the top has max velocity.so from we are clear that in water there is a kind of frictional force acting between the layers.this fprce is seperately defined as viscous force.

If A sailboat sails down the James River due South at exactly 15 mph for 1 hour. Is the sailboat accelerating?
No. The speed is constant and does not change.
What is the closest river to newton pa?
The Susquehanna River is the closest river to Newton, Pennsylvania. It is about 20 miles to the west.
Bergs classification for river speed?
Shows how fast a river is moving
Why does the velocity of the river increases downstream?
It won't increase BECAUSE it goes downstream. Rather, the speed of the river depends on other factors, such as how narrow the riverbed is, or on the slope.
Why does the float time of a river increase or decrease?
hi there the reason for this is if you are mesuring the float time near the source of the river then it will take longer because the river needs to build up velocity as the river travels down steam is you take you data near the mouth of the river that float time will be shorter because the river velocity will have increased in speed i hope i helped out.
What does the term rapids refer to?
The term rapids refers to a body of water in a river, where the river bed is particularly steep. This results in a change in gradient, which in turns generates a change in velocity and turbulence.
The technical term for a speed river?
it's velocity...it's velocity...
What is river velocity?
it is the speed of the flow in a river
How does channel roughness influence river velocity?
These obstacles causes friction between water and rocks.This ultimately reduces the velocity of river water.The more roughness of the channel, the less the river`s velocity.
Why does the velocity in a river increase?
Years upon years of errosion and constant quick flow of water will likely cause a river to grow deeper. The best example of the result of long-term errosion and rough waters lies within the Grand Canyon. Inside the Grand Canyon lies the Colorado River.
Why do rivers carry more sediment in the spring than the summer?
Sprint rains and snow melt increase the volume and velocity of the river moving more material.
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.
How does the flow of water change where a river bends?
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
What is the term for the speed of a river?
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
