What is the largest particle size that a stream can transport at a velocity of 5 centimeters per second?

Answer Choices

A)Cobble
B)pebble
C)Sand
D)Silt

Respuesta :

Answer: sand

Explanation:

sand is much lighter and can be carried further

When there is a change in the position of an object with reference to time is called velocity. It is measured in meters covered in seconds and is calculated by dividing the distance by the taken time.

The most considerable particle that can be carried by the stream is:

Option C) Sand

The particles can be explained as:

  • Sand or small gravels are the largest particles that can be carried by streams as they are light in weight and small in size. This makes the stream water to transport them from one position to another easily.

  • Cobbles, silt and pebbles are big in size and heavy in weight making it difficult for stream water to carry that particle with their flow speeds.

Therefore, sand will be carried by the streams.
