A major artery with a 1.6 cm2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area

of 0.7 cm2. By what factor is the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations for which it is defined that the proportion of Area in the initial section is equal to the final section. In other words,

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

Where,

A_i = Cross sectional area at each section

v_i =Velocities of fluid at each section

The total area of the branch is eighteen times of area of smaller artery. The average cross-sectional area of each artery is 0.7cm^2.

Therefore the Cross-sectional area at the end is

A_2= 18*0.7cm^2

A_2 = 12.6cm^2

Applying the previous equation we have then

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

(1.7cm^2) v_1 = (12.6cm^2)v_2

The ratio of the velocities then is

\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{1.7}{12.6}

\frac{v_1}{v_2} = 0.135

Therefore the factor by which the velocity of blood will reduce when it enters the smaller arteries is 0.1349

5 examples of how intertia is used in real life
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

- your body moving forwards when sudden brakes/force is applied e.g. sudden braking in a car

- feeling a backwards force when something moves quickly from rest e.g a bus

- when you stir a cup of tea, it continues to swirl for a short period of time even though you have stopped

- when shaking a tree, it's leaves or fruit fall down

- satellites which move due to the inertia of motion

hope this helped :)

kherson [118]

Answer:

0.04455 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m

Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m

Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs

First, we find the speed of the wave:

Speed, v = distance/time = x/t

v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s

Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v/λ

f = 289.58/6500

f = 0.04455 Hz
