Increasing the steepness of a river's bed is LEAST likely to change the size of the discharge of a stream and the?
Increasing the steepness of the river's bed will have no direct effect on the size of the discharge of a stream. Discharge is primarily influenced by the volume of water flowing in the river. Steepness may impact the speed of the water flow and erosion processes, but it won't directly affect discharge size.
What is the definition of stream velocity?
Stream velocity is the speed at which water flows in a stream or river. It is typically measured in units of distance per time (e.g. meters per second) and can vary based on factors such as gradient, channel shape, and discharge.
What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
What happens to the frequency of a wave if the wavelength is reduced by half and it stays the same speed?
it doubles
What happens when the speed of a stream increases?
Things that would cause a stream to move faster would be how large the stream is, how much material is in the stream and how much of a slope the stream is at. Things blocking the stream would also cause it to move slower.
What happens to work done by friction if the speed doubles?
If the speed doubles, the work done by friction remains the same. Friction depends on the force between surfaces and the distance they move relative to each other, not the speed.
What does a stream's ability to erode mainly depend on?
The amount of water in the stream and the gradient. However if you had two streams both with the same amount of water in them but with one stream flowing down a steeper slope (gradient) than the other, then the steep one has more ability to erode.
What is stream velocity?
Stream velocity refers to the speed at which water flows in a stream or river. It is typically measured in meters per second or feet per second and can vary depending on factors such as channel geometry, slope, and discharge. Stream velocity is an important parameter in hydrology and river engineering for understanding water movement and erosion processes.
What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
When an object's speed doubles, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. This relationship is due to the kinetic energy equation, which is proportional to the square of the velocity. Therefore, the object will have four times more kinetic energy when its speed doubles.
What happens to the speed of a fast-moving mountain stream when it flows onto a plain?
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.
If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same what happens to the wavelength?
The wavelength stays constant.
What happens to the speed of a fast-moving mountain stream when it flows onto a flat plain?
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.
