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

Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

When a golf ball is hit, it travels at 41 meters per second. The mass of a golf ball is 0.045kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

  75.645 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is related to the mass and velocity by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv²

For the given mass of 0.045 kg, and velocity of 41 m/s, the kinetic energy is ...

  KE = 1/2(0.045 kg)(41 m/s)² = 75.645 J

__

The unit of energy, joule, is a derived unit equal to 1 kg·m²/s².
