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
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.
If the stones are unloaded from the boat, the weight of the boat will decrease. Therefore, the volume of the water displaced by the boat will also decrease. Due to this, the volume of the boat immersed in the water decreases. Hence, the level of the water around the boat will decrease.
