measure out ten feet of water, drop a rubber ducky, or some other floating object in the water. and then time it with a stopwatch ti see how long it takes to reach there. Then divide your data by ten to get the data in feet covered per second.
Three factors are most important in determining the average velocity of a stream. One factor is the GRADIENT,or slope of the stream.Another factor is the DISCHARGE,or volume of water in the stream.Generally,as either the slope or the discharge of a stream increases,the velocity increases. The third factor involved is the STREAM CHANNEL SHAPE,the shape of the bed of rock or loose materials that confine the stream.
Speed and direction determine velocity

Speed and direction determine velocity
Size of the sand grains and velocity of the stream
one factor is multiply accelaration per time
One of the factors that determine force of impact is the object's mass. Another factor that will determine the force of impact is the object's velocity.
At what depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it is 12.5 meters deep?

it is an instrument to determine the velocity of flow at required point in a flowing stream.
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
one factor is multiply accelaration per time
A stream gauge is the instrument which is commonly used for the measurement of velocity stream.
The competence of a stream is determined by the stream's velocity and the size of the sediment it can transport. Streams with higher velocities and larger sediment sizes are typically more competent and can transport larger particles.
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
One of the factors that determine force of impact is the object's mass. Another factor that will determine the force of impact is the object's velocity.
You need to have displacement and time for you to determine the velocity.
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
