because you force it into a smaller space therefore you increase the pressure

When would you adjust a fire hose nozzle to provide a solid stream of water?

Some of the advantages of solid streams include:The ability to propel water farther than other types of streams.Has more penetration power than other types of streams.Less prone to clogging with debris.


What does jet stand for?

a. A high-velocity fluid stream forced under pressure out of a small-diameter opening or nozzle. b. An outlet, such as a nozzle, used for emitting such a stream. c. Something emitted in or as if in a high-velocity fluid stream: "such myriad and such vivid jets of images" Henry Roth. d. A jet-propelled vehicle, especially a jet-propelled aircraft. e. A jet engine.


Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?

In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.

Why does air rush into a vacuum cleaner nozzle?

To understand why air rushes into a vacuum cleaner nozzle we need to trace air flow in the machine. Let's do that. The motor in a vacuum cleaner spins a fan, and the fan moves air. The air intake for the fan is connected to ducting that is routed to the nozzle. As the fan forces air out in its exhaust stream, it creates low pressure on the suction side of the fan. This low pressure (a partial vacuum) is felt along the air path to the nozzle. At the nozzle, outside air pressure forces air into the ducting where air pressure is lower. The moving air has picked up debris and carries it along. That debris ends up in a bag or filtered dirt canister or someplace else where it can accumulate and be collected for disposal. This applies to machines that have bags or filters to get the debris out of the air stream before it goes through the motor to keep it cool. Some machines isolate the motor from the air stream created by the fan, and the motor is cooled by another fan. These "direct" vacuums operate in a way that sees the air stream and the debris pass through the fan and be driven into a bag. The operation of the fan has created a low pressure area along the ducting between it (the fan) and the nozzle. Outside air pressure, being greater than the low pressure created by the fan and ducted to the nozzle, forces air into the nozzle.


What change in the stream would cause pebbles to be deposited farther offshore?

A greater volume of water would cause this.
