The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower

in the arteries than in capillaries because arteries possess a relatively large diameter C) slower in the veins than in the capillaries because veins have a large diameter D) slowest in the capillaries because the total cross-sectional area is the greatest

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Two vectors are given by a = 8.6i + 5.1 j and b = 931 + 9.5.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

<u>Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j</u> <em>(b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong):</em>

a) a×b = 34.27k

b) a·b = 128.43

c) (a + b)·b = 305.17

d) The component of a along the direction of b = 9.66

Explanation:

<u>Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j</u> <em>(b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong)</em> we can proceed as follows:  

a) The vectorial product, a×b  is:

a \times b = (8.6*9.5 - 5.1*9.3)k = 34.27k

b) The escalar product a·b is:

a\cdot b = (8.6*9.3) + (5.1*9.5) = 128.43

c) <u>Asumming (a</u><u> </u><u>+ b)·b</u> <em>instead a+b·b</em> we have:

(a + b)\cdot b = [(8.6 + 9.3)i + (5.1 + 9.5)j]\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = (17.9i + 14.6j)\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = 305.17

d) The component of a along the direction of b is:

a*cos(\theta) = \frac{a\cdot b}{|b|} = \frac{128.43}{\sqrt{9.3^{2} + 9.5^{2}}} = 9.66

I hope it helps you!

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration
kiruha [24]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
  
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

                       =  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second)  = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration  =  (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days)  =  2,873.58 inch/hour²
