Answer:

Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:

d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2

Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…

…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…

…we get

d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2

Explanation:

Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.

Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.

A major artery with a cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross sectional a

dybincka [34]

Here we can say that rate of flow must be constant

so here we will have

$A_1v_1 = 18 A_2v_2$

now we know that

$A_1 = 1 cm^2$

$A_2 = 0.4 cm^2$

now from above equation

$1 cm^2 v_1 = 18(0.400 cm^2)v_2$

$\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \frac{1}{18\times 0.4}$

$\frac{v_2}{v_1} = 0.14$

so velocity will reduce by factor 0.14
