The blood flow rate through the aorta is measured to be 104.1 cm^3/s, and an adult is measured to have 4.93 L of blood. How long

does it take for all of your blood to pass through the aorta?
If the adult's aorta has a diamter of 1.85 cm, what is the speed of blood as it flows through the aorta?

Answer:

a)time t = 47.4s

b)speed v = 38.7cm/s

Explanation:

Given:

Total volume of blood = 4.93L × 1000cm^3/L = 4930cm^3

Volumetric rate of flow = 104.1cm^3/s

a) Time taken for all the blood to pass through the aorta is:

Time t = total volume/ volumetric rate

t = 4930/104.1

t = 47.4s

b) Given that the diameter of the aorta is 1.85cm.

V = Av

Where V = Volumetric rate

A = area of aorta

v = speed of blood

v = V/A ...1

Area of a circular aorta = πr^2 = (πd^2)/4

d = 1.85cm

A = (π×1.85^2)/4

A = 2.69cm^2

From equation 1.

v = V/A = 104.1/2.69

v = 38.7 cm/s

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

Which countries that had sea ice along their coasts in September 1986 were bordered by open water in September 2017?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.
