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.

Can the size of the particles that the water can transport increases as the water velocity decreases?
no it does not
What is viscous force directly proportional to?
velocity gradientthe velocity with which water flow.this is due to the property of viscousity
Is the velocity of light higher in water or in air?
It's greater in air than in water.
What is the velocity of sound in water?
In fresh water, ~1500 m/s at 25°C
Is velocity of light constant?
Yes according to most theories the velocity of light in a vacuum is constant. (In water and glass it is slower!)
What is MVW and HVW in water spray system?
MVW: Medium Velocity Water spray system HVW: High Velocity Water spray system
What is the difference between high velocity and medium velocity water spray system in fire fighting?
The sprinkler head design. High velocity heads have longer nozzles with a venturi tube (a type of curved nozzle) which increases the velocity of the water spray. Medium velocity heads are shorter and do not use a venturi.
How does water create stream valley?
The Velocity
Is terminal velocity the same in water as in air?
no
Can the size of the particles that the water can transport increases as the water velocity decreases?
no it does not
What is viscous force directly proportional to?
velocity gradientthe velocity with which water flow.this is due to the property of viscousity
What is water retardation?
Ratio of change of velocity to the time
Velocity of sound in water?
1454 m/s
Why is the terminal velocity in water less than the terminal velocity in air?
More resistance, caused by a greater density.
What is the volume of water in a five inch pipe?
Depends on the internal diameter, and the flow velocity. Velocity of water = Delta V Internal Radius= R RxRxV= Volume
Why is terminal velocity in water less than the terminal velocity in air?
The incompressibility, inertia and relatively higher viscosity of water make it difficult to displace, so its reactive forces on the falling object are greater; hence the terminal velocity is reduced.
What causes water erosion to increase?
An increase in volume or velocity of the water will increase erosion
