What is the average speed of the Mississippi river?
1.2 mph
Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
What term describes the speed of the flow of water in a river or a river stream?
velocity
What is the average speed of the Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean?
The average speed of the Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean is about 4 miles per hour.
What is the speed of the river Nile?
It depends on the time of year and where in Africa.
At what rate of speed does the Mississippi River typically flow?
The speed of the Mississippi River varies depending on the location at which it is measured. At the headwaters, the flow is about 1.2 miles per hour. In New Orleans, far downriver from the headwaters, the river flows at about 3 miles per hour. For comparison, most people walk at about 3 to 3.5 miles per hour.
How do you set up the equation to find current of a river?
To set up the equation for finding the current of a river, you typically consider the speed of a boat relative to the water and the speed of the boat relative to the ground. Let ( v_b ) be the speed of the boat in still water, ( v_r ) be the speed of the river current, and ( v_g ) be the speed of the boat relative to the ground. The equation can be expressed as ( v_g = v_b + v_r ) when the boat is moving downstream and ( v_g = v_b - v_r ) when moving upstream. By measuring the ground speed in both directions, you can solve for ( v_r ).
A river current has a velocity of 5 kmh relative to the shore. A boat moves in the same direction as the current at 4 kmh relative to the river. How do you calculate the velocity of the boat relative?
The velocity of the boat relative to the shore is the vector sum of its velocity relative to the river and the velocity of the river current. In this case, it would be 4 km/h (boat's speed) + 5 km/h (current's speed), which equals 9 km/h.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which represents the current speed of the vehicle at any given moment. It does not show average speed or velocity.
How many times faster does the Amazon river flow than the Mississippi River?
The speed of the flow changes depending on season, rainfall, width, depth, gradient and where in the river you measure it. However the total outflow averages approximately 209,000 m3/s (7,381,000 cu ft/s).
What is the average speed of the world's most powerful current in centimetres per second?
This will depend not only upon the strength of the current (in Amperes), but also on the wire's cross-section. In any case, in a typical current, the electrons have an average speed of a tiny fraction of a milliter per second.
How fast is the Gulf Stream current flowing?
The Gulf Stream current flows at an average speed of about 4 miles per hour.
