As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed in

creases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules?

Answer:

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

Explanation:

given,

velocity factor = 4

Cross-sectional area of venules(A₁) = 10 cm²

cross sectional area of capillaries(A_2) = ?

continuity equation = Q = AV

now,

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2} = \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

\dfrac{10}{A_2} =4

\dfrac{10}{4} =A_2

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

hence, the area of capillaries is equal to 2.5 cm₂

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the amount of a
choli [55]
<h3 /><h3>Answers :</h3><h3 />

F = m×a

60 N = 30 kg × a

30 × a = 60

a =  60/30

a =  2 m/s²

<h3 /><h3 />

<em>The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If the net force increases while the mass of the object remains the same, the amount of acceleration also increases.

However, when the mass of the object increases while the net force remains the same, the amount of acceleration decreases.

What role does density play in the movement of convection curruents?
shtirl [24]

Convection occurs through heat transfer due to a difference in density in the fluids.

Consider a pot of water being heated. The water in the pot gets heated rises ,it provides energy for the particles in the water to move and thus the water expands which results in the density of the water becoming less. These particles rise up till the top of the pot owing to the property of very less density of the particles.


Then after some time, it cools down which results in increase of the density of the particles. The heavier denser particles sink to the bottom and is once again heated and rises and this process continues unless all the water particles in the pot are heated and warmed.This transfer of energy by the movement of particles cause convection.


During the day the heat surface above the earth exposed to the sun's rays is heated. This rise in temperature,decreases the density of the air and the warm air rises.

This air cools down and becomes denser. This dense cool air sink back and forces the warm air to rise again.

This transfer of movement of particles causes convection. This cycle is the cause of winds and thus energy is transferred through the atmosphere.

True or false:<br> All of the rivers in the United States are closely monitored For pollution levels
Nutka1998 [239]

All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.

The statement in the question is False

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.

But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the
Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N
