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.

The wave formula is shown below. Check all boxes that are correct.
tangare [24]

Answer:

3) Wave speed is directly related to the product of wavelength and frequency.

4) Frequency has a direct relationship to wavelength when speed remains constant

Explanation:

V is the velocity (wave speed)

f is the frequency

the symbol next to the frequency is the wavelength

Velocity is proportional because the wavelength and frequency are multiplying.

It would be inversely proportional when the velocity is the dividend of the wavelength and frequency.

On the second statement, frequency (and wavelength) are directly related/proportional to the speed of the wave.
