Answer:

The velocity of blood on an obstructed segment of an artery is greater than an obstructed one

Explanation:

The blood as an incompressible an laminar fluid let us to assume the flux of blood in all segments of an artery is the same, this is known as continuity equation and let us to write the change on the flux between some point 1 and some point 2 as:

\Delta Q = 0

Q_2-Q_1=0

Q_2=Q_1 (1)

So, if we take the Q1 as the flux on the unobstructed artery and Q2 the obstructed artery, we're saying the flux of blood on the obstructed artery is the same in the unobstructed one. Flux is defined as the velocity of a fluid times the cross-section area on a specific point, so (1) is:

v_2*A_2=v_1*A_1

With v the velocity and A the cross-section area, in our should be assumed as a circle of some dimeter D1 and D2 (remember the area of a circle is \frac{\pi*D^2}{4})

v_2*\frac{\pi *D_2^2}{4}=v_1*\frac{\pi *D_1^2}{4}

For an obstructed artery D2 is less than D1 and because we have an equality and \frac{\pi}{4} is constant, v2 should be greater than v1 to conserve the equality, that means the velocity of blood on an obstructed segment of an artery is greater than an obstructed one.

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s^2. (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s.

b) Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation of velocity for an object that moves in a straight line with constant acceleration is as follows:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocty.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

a) Using the equation of velocity, let´s consider that the car moves in the positive direction. Then:

v = v0 + a · t

2.00 m/s = 0 m/s + 1.40 m/s² · t

t = 2.00 m/s / 1.40 m/s²

t = 1.43 s

It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s

b) Let´s use again the equation of velocity, knowing that at t = 0.800 s the velocity is 0 m/s:

v = v0 + a · t

0 = 2.00 m/s + a · 0.800 s

-2.00 m/s / 0.800 s = a

a = -2.50 m/s²

Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²
