The speed at which water travels through a pipe depends on factors like the pipe diameter, pressure, and the viscosity of the water. In general, water can travel through a pipe at speeds ranging from a few feet per second to several hundred feet per second.

What makes sound travel through a pipe?

Sound travels through a pipe by creating pressure waves in the air inside the pipe. These waves are generated by vibrations from a sound source and are transmitted through the air molecules inside the pipe. The shape and material of the pipe can influence the way the sound waves travel and are reflected.


Why cant you see an object through a bent pipe?

You can't see an object through a bent pipe because light does not travel in straight lines when passing through the bent pipe. The light rays are refracted as they enter the pipe, causing the object to appear distorted or blocked from view due to the curve of the pipe.


How does blowing through a pipe produce a sound?

Blowing through a pipe, such as a flute or a recorder, causes the air inside the pipe to vibrate. The vibration creates sound waves that travel through the air, producing the sound you hear. The pitch of the sound can be changed by altering the length or shape of the pipe.


Why do waves travel faster in deep water?

The depth of moving water does not determine how fast it travels. Certainly shallow water will travel faster than deep water for the same volume of water moving past a point per unit of time. And if you think about it, it will become clear. Let's look at water in a pipe and make a comparison. Two pipes of different diameter have water moving through them. And the same volume of water is moving through both pipes per unit of time. The water in the smaller pipe will have to travel faster to get the same volume of it past a point in a given time as the larger pipe. Said another way, the water moving through the larger pipe won't be flowing as fast as the water in the smaller pipe to get the same flow rate (gallons/minute, or other measure). The same logic applies to streams or rivers. What we generally see is that large rivers move slowly, but that's generally because the slopedown which they run is small compared to smaller tributaries higher up. This, that is, the issue with the slope or gradient down which water is moving, is a geological phenomenon. We often seem smaller streams or rivers moving more quickly than larger ones. But we cannot make a blanket statement that shallow water moves more quickly than deep water. It may, or may not, depending on the circumstances.


How does sound travel threw pipes?

Sound travels through pipes by creating vibrations in the surrounding air or material inside the pipe. These vibrations travel along the walls of the pipe, causing the molecules in the material to also vibrate and transmit the sound energy. The shape, material, and length of the pipe can affect the speed and quality of sound transmission.

How much PSI does it take to push one gallon of water through a one half inch pipe?

That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move. If you are in no hurry, even the slightest pressure will be enough to push the water through the pipe.That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move.

Which is best to be pushed through a pipe a solid a liquid or a gas?

Well, I don't know what can be PUSHED through a pipe but i know that sound can travel through pipes, water can travel through pipes and gases can travel through pipes. But solids don't have a chance! How do you think we get our water in our homes? It travels through pipes of course! I hoped this helped a little. Thank You!

Does water flowing through a PVC pipe donate electrons to the pipe creating a surface charge on the un buried pipe?

Water flowing through a PVC pipe does not donate electrons to the pipe. The charge on the pipe is primarily influenced by external factors such as static electricity or friction with other materials, rather than the water itself. The surface charge on the pipe would depend on the material properties and environmental conditions, not the flow of water through it.
