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.

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo
kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒   (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒   d ≈ 3.7 m

if the 50 kg object slows down to a velocity of 1 m/s how much kinetic energy does it have 100j 50j 25j or none
rodikova [14]

ek =  \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50) {(1)}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50)

ek = 25j

//

I'm not really sure but I do know that it's not 0 because the object is still moving, even if it's only moving at 1 m/s.
