The velocity of blood flow is the lowest in capillaries because

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.

1. How much force would you have to apply to a 15kg object in order to accelerate it!<br> a 2 m/s?

mihalych1998 [28]

30N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 15kg

Acceleration = 2m/s

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

Force is given as the product of mass and acceleration:

F = m x a

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Inputting the parameters:

F = 15 x 2 = 30N

The unit of force is newtons, N .

A jogger accelerates from rest to 4.86 m/s in 2.43 s. A car accelerates from 20.6 to 32.7 m/s also in 2.43 s. (a) Find the magni

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the jogger is at rest u₁ = 0

He accelerates from rest to 4.86 m, v₁ = 4.86 m

Time, t₁ = 2.43 s

A car accelerates from u₂ = 20.6 to v₂ = 32.7 m/s in t₂ = 2.43 s

(a) Acceleration of the jogger :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{4.86\ m/s-0}{2.43\ s}$

a₁ = 2 m/s²

(b) Acceleration of the car,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{32.7\ m/s-20.6\ m/s}{2.43\ s}$

a₂ = 4.97 m/s²

(c) Distance covered by the car,

$d_1=u_1t_1+\dfrac{1}{2}a_1t_1^2$

$d_1=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times (2.43)^2$

d₁ = 5.904 m

Distance covered by the jogger,

$d_2=u_2t_2+\dfrac{1}{2}a_2t_2^2$

$d_2=20.6\times 2.43+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.97\times (2.43)^2$

d₂ = 64.73 m

The car further travel a distance of, d = 64.73 m - 5.904 m = 58.826 m

Hence, this is the required solution.
