Heavier particles tend to move more slowly compared to lighter particles due to the increased inertia. This means that heavier particles require more force to accelerate or change direction. In a fluid medium, heavier particles may settle towards the bottom under the influence of gravity.
What else can I help you with?
Is sand heavier than silt?
Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.
Do smaller particles of sediment get deposited first or do large particles of sediment?
It would take more time for smaller particles to settle because they are lighter than larger particles, making it harder for them to settle. Its is easier for larger particles to settle because if they bump up against each other they wont move much and their heavier weight will cause them to stay once settled.
Is wind erosion that picks up small particles and leaves heavier particles behind?
Yes, wind erosion can pick up small particles (such as sand) and leave behind heavier particles (such as rocks or pebbles) in a process known as deflation. This selective removal of finer particles can lead to the formation of features like sand dunes.
Which rock particle would settle first as a stream slows?
The heaviest rock particles will settle first as a stream slows down. This is because heavier particles have more mass and momentum, making them more likely to sink to the bottom. Lighter particles will remain suspended in the water longer.
What is heavier gravel clay or sand?
Gravel is typically heavier than sand, and therefore gravel would be heavier than both clay and sand. This is because gravel consists of larger-sized particles and has a higher density compared to clay and sand.
What happeneds to the speed of particles that are heavier?
Due to "inertia" and the nature of "mass", heavier particles require more energy to change their velocity. It takes more energy to make them move faster or slower or to change their "direction".
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, lighter gas particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier gas particles because they have higher average speeds due to their lower masses. This means they can move more quickly through a medium, leading to faster diffusion rates.
Does the particle's size make the particle movement go slow or fast?
Well, if in a gas you have a mixture of heavier and lighter particles (atoms or molecules, really), the lighter particles will tend to move faster than the heavier particles. The general tendency is for any such particle to have the same energy (mainly kinetic energy). Similarly, in a liquid solution, lighter particles will tend to move faster.
How the particles of methylamine and hydrogen chloride move along the tube?
In a tube, the particles of methylamine and hydrogen chloride will move through random motion due to their kinetic energy. The lighter particles will move faster and diffuse more quickly than heavier particles. The motion is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and concentration gradients.
Are liquids and solids particles heavier than gas particles?

What is one of the heavier subatomic particles with no charge?
Neutron
Which diffuse faster heavy particles or light particles?
In general lighter particles should diffuse faster than heavier particles, this could be extrapolated from the relationship to mass, volume, and energy. If we look at particles of all the same, ideal, substance, we would see that an object with less mass would be smaller but would also require less energy to move. That is, at the same temperature a particle of lower mass would move faster than a similar particle of heavier mass. We also see that smaller particles also maximize surface area/mass - this is also conducive to faster diffusion.
Is sand heavier than silt?
Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.
What particles move the most?
the particles that move the most is sugar
Does the car have to be heavier to move faster?
No.
Why do some particles diffuse quicker than others?
Particles diffuse at different rates due to differences in their size, shape, and mass. Smaller, lighter particles diffuse quicker than larger, heavier particles because they can move more easily through the medium in which they are diffusing. Additionally, the temperature and concentration gradient of the medium can also affect the diffusion rate of particles.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
