Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
Water will flow more easily through a wide pipe than a narrow pipe. This is because a wider pipe offers less resistance to the flow, allowing a greater volume of water to pass through simultaneously. In contrast, a narrow pipe restricts the flow, creating higher pressure and turbulence, which can impede the movement of water. Therefore, the diameter of the pipe significantly affects the flow rate.
In an electrical circuit, resistance is like the narrowness of a pipe that restricts the flow of water. Just as resistance limits the flow of electricity in a circuit, a narrow pipe restricts the flow of water. Both resistance and a narrow pipe cause a decrease in the flow rate.
No, water cannot flow uphill in a pipe without the assistance of a pump or other external force.
A pressure difference between two points along the pipe is necessary for the sustained flow of water. This pressure difference creates a driving force that pushes the water through the pipe, overcoming frictional resistance and allowing for continuous flow.
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.

The flow of water in a pipe is analogous to the flow of charge in a wire as both involve the movement of particles through a medium. In a pipe, water molecules move due to a pressure difference, while in a wire, charges move due to a voltage difference. Both systems exhibit resistance to flow, which can be influenced by factors such as pipe diameter or wire material.
A valve in a water pipe system controls the flow of water by opening or closing to regulate the amount of water passing through the pipe. It helps to stop or start the flow of water, as well as adjust the pressure and direction of the water within the system.
Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.
Water flows in the direction of the open end of the pipe. You can visually observe the flow of water or use a flow indicator to see the direction of movement inside the copper pipe. Another way is to feel for the movement of water by placing your hand near the pipe to sense the flow direction.
