What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases
What is the difference between stream discharge and stream 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.
What happens to the frequency of a wave if the wavelength is reduced by half and it stays the same speed?
it doubles
What happens when the speed of a stream increases?
Things that would cause a stream to move faster would be how large the stream is, how much material is in the stream and how much of a slope the stream is at. Things blocking the stream would also cause it to move slower.
If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same what happens to the wavelength?
The wavelength stays constant.
What happens to the speed of a fast-moving mountain stream when it flows onto a plain?
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.

How do an jet stream gain speed?
why do you think airplanes traveling in the jet stream gain speed going from west to east but lose speed from east to west
What is the jetsream?
a high speed stream
What factor determine the velocity of stream?
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.
How many knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed a jet stream?
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
What can influence the erosion of a stream?
The amount of and the speed of the water
