The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.

If you fall from a plane flying over water and you survived the impact how deep would you go in?

The depth you would go into the water after falling from a plane depends on factors like your velocity upon impact and the water's density. Generally, falling from a high altitude could result in significant depth due to the impact force and velocity. It is important to note that surviving such a fall is highly unlikely.


Which term refers to the layer of water in which there is a rapid change of temperature with depth in the ocean?

The term you are referring to is "thermocline." It is the layer of water in the ocean where there is a rapid change in temperature with depth, serving as a barrier between warmer surface water and colder deep water.

What is the definition of velocity gradient?

With respect to material being sheared, velocity gradient is the change dv in relative velocity v between parallel planes with respect to the change dr in perpendicular distance r throughout the depth of the material. Velocity gradient has the same dimensions as rate of shear, which is reciprocal seconds.


What is the formula for calculating depth when using sonar?

The formula for calculating depth using sonar is depth = (velocity of sound in water x time taken for sound wave to return) / 2. This formula takes into account the speed of sound in water and the time it takes for the sound wave to travel to the bottom and back to the receiver.

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 depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it's 12.5 meters deep?

The velocity sensor should be placed at approximately 40-60% of the total water depth, so in this case, it should be placed at around 5-7.5 meters from the surface to estimate the stream's average velocity accurately. Placing it in this range helps account for variations in velocity across the vertical profile of the stream.


Why does the water depth increase downstream?

Water depth increases downstream due to a combination of factors such as the accumulation of flow from tributaries, reduced friction along the river bed, and the energy gradient of the river. As the river flows downstream, it gains more volume and velocity, resulting in higher water depth.

How do you calculate the change in velocity of an object?

To calculate the change in velocity of an object, you subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. The formula is: Change in velocity Final velocity - Initial velocity.

What is the velocity change when the ray of light passes from air to glass?

When a photon goes say from air to water, it slows down according to; n=c/v where n is refractive index of water c is velocity of light in air v is velocity of light in water It is stated that the frequency of the photon doesn't change when the photon enters the water. Only the wavelength changes.


Are PFD's more buoyant in deep water than in shallow water?

No, the buoyancy of a PFD does not change based on the depth of the water. The buoyancy of a PFD is based on its design and materials, not the depth of the water. It will provide the same level of buoyancy regardless of the water depth.


Does the diameter of a deep water wave orbit decrease with depth?

No, the diameter of a deep water wave orbit does not change with depth. The wavelength of the wave remains constant while the wave travels through water, regardless of the depth.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
