larger particles settle to the bottom first as the velocity of the stream increases. This is because larger particles have more inertia and are less affected by the drag force of the flowing water, allowing them to settle faster than smaller particles.

What is particle velocity at the extreme end of vibration?

At the extreme end of vibration, the particle velocity is at its maximum value. This occurs when the particle reaches the peak amplitude and changes direction. It then slows down to a stop before moving in the opposite direction.

How are velocity and temperature related?

By changing the temperature of the liquid (an object is dropping in) the velocity is likely to increase as the temperature increases because by increasing the temperature of the liquid, the result would be that the object's velocity will increase.submittted by munchez :-)


Decreasing particle size collision frequency of reactants?

Decreasing particle size increases the surface area available for collision, leading to a higher collision frequency of reactants. Smaller particles move more freely and are more likely to collide with each other, increasing the chance of successful collisions and promoting faster reaction rates.


Are you more likely to be able to walk at a constant velocity?

Yes, it is more likely that a person can walk at a constant velocity on a flat, smooth surface without any obstacles or interruptions.


What change would most likely increase the velocity of a river?

Increasing the gradient or slope of the river bed is most likely to increase the velocity of a river. This change allows water to flow more rapidly downhill, resulting in higher velocity.

When is a stone tied to a string and whirled is most likely to break and why?

If you allow the string to wrap around the finger, as the radius diminishes, the force on the string increases , according to : > force = mass (of stone) * (velocity2 / radius) (assuming the velocity remains constant)
