The water in a building has a certain pressure, depending on how high the storage tank is. One tap opening has the full pressure acting on one small area, the size of the tap. If a second tap is opening the pressure acts on a wider area, so it is not so strong.

Why is water pressure higher on the first floor of high rising building than the 12th floor?

Water pressure decreases with height due to the force needed to pump water that high against gravity. As water travels up a building, the pressure decreases because of the increased distance the water needs to travel. Therefore, the water pressure is typically higher on lower floors compared to higher floors in a high-rise building.


When water freezes does the thermal energy increases or decreases?

It decreases, it is less dense.A2.Any body can only pass thermal energy on to another body if the first is at a higher temperature than the second. Therefore when a body cools it has less potential to pass energy to another one. In addition, when water freezes it releases latent heat to the atmosphere (which of course must be colder than the freezing water), so that is another reduction in it's potential thermal energy.

Why does the flow of water decreases in the tap when person open other tap in the same building?

This happens because the water heater is in the roof or in the basement. When you turn a tap it takes water up or down from the heater down a single pipe. When you turn a second a tap the water being taken down that single pipe is slipt down two pipes and so less water gets taken to a single tap as its being shared.
