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.

In electronic circuits:______.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(a), (c) and (e) s correct.

Explanation:

a. the power used by a circuit is the resistance times the current squared.

The power is given by P = I^2 R, so the statement is correct.

b. electric and magnetic fields are transporting the energy.

false

c. electrons are transporting the energy.

The energy is transferred by flow of electrons. It is correct.

d. the power used by a circuit is the voltage times the current squared.

The power is given by P = V I, the statement is wrong.

e. the power used by a circuit is the current times the voltage.

The power is given by P = V I, the statement is correct.

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

$P = \frac{W}{t}$
