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

Answer:

Potential energy only

Explanation:

at the top of its swing the pendulum stops moving , (therefore it has no KINETIC energy)  thus all of the energy is stored as potential energy.

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?
babunello [35]
Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

Calculate the number of moles in 100g of water​
dsp73

5.55 mol H2O

Explanation:

Water has a molar mass of 18.01528 g/mol. We can then calculate the number of moles of water as

100 g H20 × (1 mol H2O/18.01528 g H20)

= 5.55 mol H2O
