The buildup of plaque on the walls of an artery may decrease its diameter from 1.1 cm to 0.90 cm. The speed of blood flow was 17

cm/s before reaching the region of plaque buildup.
A). Find the speed of blood flow within the plaque region. This was 25 cm/s.
B.) Find the pressure drop within the plaque region. I got 17.808 but says I'm wrong. Am I missing a step?

Answer

Initial radius of the artery is (1.1 cm) / 2 = 0.55 cm

final radius of the artery is (0.90 cm) / 2 = 0.45 cm

initial velocity of the blood is 17 cm/s

Using  equation of continuity is

                                      A₁v₁=A₂v₂

                                 π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂

                                  r₁² x v₁ = r₂² x v₂

                                  0.55² x 17 =0.45² x v₂

                                        v₂=25.39 cm/s

Bernoulli's equation is

P_1 - P_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

rho is the density of blood = 1060 kg/m^3

P_1 - P_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1060 \times (0.254^2-0.17^2)

P_1 - P_2 =18.87\ Pa

An 68 kg man on ice skates is pushing his 34 kg son, also on skates, with a force of 115 N. Together, they move across the ice s
Radda [10]

Answer:

a)115 N

b)For father acceleration = 1.69 m/s²

For son acceleration = 3.28 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of man(M)= 68 kg

Mass of son (m)= 34 kg

F= 115 N

As we know that from third law of Newtons ,It sates that every action have it reaction in opposite direction but same in magnitude.

So the force exerted by boy on father = 115 N

From Newtons second law of motion

F= m a

F=Force

m= mass

a=acceleration

For father

115 = 68 x a

a=1.69 m/s²

For son

115  = 35 x a'

a'=3.28  m/s²

The velocity of sound in air saturated with water vapour at 30°C
Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium.  So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions.  The density of air is:

ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))

where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,

Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,

and T is the absolute temperature.

At the first condition:

Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 30°C = 303.15°C

ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)

ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021

ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³

At the second condition:

Pv = 0 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 0°C = 273.15°C

ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)

ρ = 1.1054 + 0

ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³

The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:

v² = k P / ρ

Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:

v² = k / ρ

Using the first condition to find the coefficient:

(340)² = k / 0.97767

k = 113018.652

Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:

v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054

v = 319.75

What is the difference between heat temperature and thermal energy?
igomit [66]
Well Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat. While <span>Heat energy (or thermal energy or simply heat) is defined as a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.</span>
