Rivers do not flow upstream. All rivers follow gravity downstream. That's why its called "upstream" its going AGAINST the normal flow of the river.

Can gravels slow down the speed of the river?

Yes, gravels can slow down the speed of a river by creating friction and obstacles which impede the flow of water. The rough surfaces of the gravel bed can decrease the velocity of the river as the water has to navigate around and through the individual particles.


Where is the speed of the flowing water in a river the slowest Explain-?

These are some things that cause the speed of water to slow down. Broad flat channels slow a river down, a rough channel will also slow the water down. Basically, anything that increases the surface area of a body of water, against which water flows will slow it down, this is due to the increase of friction. In addition, water flows slowest at the margins of a river, if the river is winding, water will flow slower at the inside curves.

Why doesn't spacecrafts not slow down during the journey?

In space, there is no air resistance to slow down spacecraft traveling at constant velocity. Additionally, spacecraft can use thrusters or gravitational assists to adjust their speed if needed. The laws of physics allow spacecraft to maintain their speed in the vacuum of space.
