Prop wash is caused by a passing propeller driven aircraft. The spinning prop creates a vortex like wind that can be quite violent.

Does the length of a propeller affect the speed at which a plane travels?

Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft. Larger, slower turning props are more efficient at the speeds at which most prop aircraft operate. If the tip speed of a prop exceeds the sound barrier, a prop will suddenly loose a large part of its thrust. The loud crackling noise you hear on takeoff is not the engine, but the prop tips nibbling at the sound barrier. DAN Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft.

What energy transformation in a washing machine?

In a washing machine, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy to rotate the drum and agitate the clothes. This mechanical energy then causes friction and movement of the clothes, resulting in kinetic energy and thermal energy to wash and dry the clothes.
