The velocity of blood flow is the lowest in capillaries because

Physics
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries is greater than the total cross-sectional area of the arteries or any other part of the circulatory system.

Explanation:

Blood velocity is not the same in all areas. In the capillaries it is where there is less speed, while in arteries and veins it is quite similar. This is due to the cross-sectional area of ​​each of the vessels. It is a mistake to think of a vein, artery or capillary individually. We have to put them all together to see that the total area of ​​the capillaries is 100 times larger than that of the arteries or veins. Blood flowing through arteries or veins is going faster because there is less area.

Blood velocity is inversely proportional to each of the areas of its territories. The greater the area, the lower the speed.

How could you use the microscopes from this activity to determine
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The magnification is a function of the lenses in the objective and the eyepiece, so the magnification of the two must be multiplied to obtain the total magnification possible. So, for example, if the objective lens was 4X and the eye piece lens was 10X, the total magnification would be 40. (4 x 10 = 40)

Casey is playing with her yo-yo. She performs an "around the world" trick, in which the yo-yo travels up and around in a circle
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Explanation:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Remember the equation

U = m*g*h

where U is the potential energy

m is the mass of the yo-yo

h is the height

Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones
Xelga [282]
Volcanoes form above subduction zones because Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.
