Suppose a blood vessel's radius is decreased to 87% of its original value by plaque deposits and the body compensates by increas
ing the pressure difference along the vessel to keep the flow rate constant.
By what factor must the pressure difference increase?
By what factor must the pressure difference increase?
1 answer:
Answer:
The pressure difference will increase by the factor of 1.75
Explanation:
For constant flow rate, coefficient of viscosity, length of the vessel and the pressure difference is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel

The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
where m is the mass and v the velocity.
For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
So, the correct answer is B).
