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.

If pressure of a gas is increased in its volume at constant what will happen to its temperature
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

If we assume the gas is ideal, then we can use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

If V is held constant while P increases, then T will also increase.

A wire lying along a y axis form y=0 to y=0.25 m carries a current of 2.0 mA in the negative direction of the axis. the wire ful
Bess [88]

Answer:

The force is "19 µN".

Explanation:

The lane's j-component is meaningless, as the current is flowing in the -j line.  

Therefore the power is now in the direction of + z (out of the page if x and y are in the page plane) and has the magnitude.

\ formula: \\\\\ Forec (F) = mA \\\\ \ F \ = 2.0mA \times \int {0.3} \ y \ dy  \rightarrow  \ from\ 0 \ to \ 0.25 \\\\\ F \ = \ 2.0mA \times 0.15 * 0.25^{2} m\cdot T \\\\ F = 19 \µN

Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1320 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:0.0909 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of hot Reservoir T_h=1320 K

Temperature of cold Reservoir T_l=600 K

Heat of 100 kJ is transferred form hot reservoir to cold reservoir

Hot Reservoir is Rejecting heat therefore Q_1=-100 kJ

Heat is added to Reservoir therefore Q_2=100 kJ

Entropy change for system

\Delta s=\frac{Q_1}{T_1}+\frac{Q_2}{T_2}

\Delta s=\frac{-100}{1320}+\frac{100}{600}

\Delta s=-0.0757+0.1666=0.0909 kJ/K

As entropy change is Positive therefore entropy Principle is satisfied
