Fluids in motion create a zone of lower pressure. Low pressure within the running water is surrounded by higher pressure outside the running water causing it to become constricted or narrower. Incidentally, that's the same reason why your shower curtain tends to get sucked inside the shower.

Tap water comes from the water faucet. It gets to the water faucet from the water treatment plant through the water storage takes and lines.
Why does the water stop flowing in a new faucet after a few minutes?
I have seen this type of thing happen when there is a bit of junk in a line that falls back when the flow has stopped, and then move back with the flow to stop it when it gets to a point where the water is restricted. More often, I have seen it to be just something odd about the faucet making it creep off from the flow of the water going through it.

Why doesn't the shower the furthest from the hot water heater never get more than warm and the shower closest to it gets nice and hot?
Your hot water line needs more insulation probably. It sounds like your hot water is cooling before reaching that faucet. It may be that the one faucet is not able to turn all the way to hot until you adjust the faucet (usually in the handle) of a 10 year old or newer faucet.
What it is called when a puddle gets smaller?
Evaporation is the process by which a puddle gets smaller as the water heats up and turns into vapor, escaping into the atmosphere.
I have to run the water in the kitchen for long time to get it hot but the bath water gets hot fast its further away from the hot water tank than the kitchen?
The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.

What would cause an extremely loud vibration in your house when running hot water in a sink if you just replaced the old worn-out seals with new ones you had to make yourself?
If water gets under a faucet washer it can cause a loud vibration when the water is turned on. You either need to find a proper replacment or get a new faucet.
What will stop a vibration-machine gun sound in the hot water of a faucet if it only happens after the water gets hot?
Either replace the washer on the hot side in the faucet (or buy a new washerless faucet), replace the "angle-stop" with a "quarter-turn" style, or install a "water hammer arrestor". (There is a real convenient style on the market, it fits between the incoming nut at the angle stop and the thread on the body of the stop itself).
Why does it take time for water to come out after the faucet has been turned on or toilet flushed once the weather gets colder?
If it is at freezing temperature, then you have an issue with uninsulated pipes.
