Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

Compute the work performed when 32 pounds is lifted 10 feet.
Murljashka [212]
W = force * displacement
W = 32 pounds * 10 feet
Now you need to convert it to newton and meters
W = 142 N * 3.048 m = 434 J
(I approximated the conversions- I hope it helps)
