Answer:

The average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the aorta, r₁ = 1 cm

speed of blood, v₁ = 30 cm/s

Area of the aorta, A₁ = πr₁² = π(1)² = 3.142 cm²

Area of the capillaries, A₂ = 2000 cm²

let the average speed of the blood in the capillaries = v₂

Apply continuity equation to determine the average speed of the blood in the capillaries.

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

v₂ = (A₁v₁) / (A₂)

v₂ = (3.142 x 30) / (2000)

v₂ = 0.047 cm/s

Therefore, the average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

Two identical silver spheres of mass m and radius r are placed a distance R (sphere 1) and 2R (sphere 2) from the Sun, respectiv
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The ratio of T2 to T1 is 1.0

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on each sphere by the sun is inversely proporational to the square of the distance between the sun and each of the spheres.

Provided that the two spheres have the same radius r, the pressure of solar radiation too, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of each sphere from the sun.

Let F₁ and F₂ = gravitational force of the sun on the first and second sphere respectively

P₁ and P₂ = Pressure of solar radiation on the first and second sphere respectively

M = mass of the Sun

m = mass of the spheres, equal masses.

For the first sphere that is distance R from the sun.

F₁ = (GmM/R²)

P₁ = (k/R²)

T₁ = (F₁/P₁) = (GmM/k)

For the second sphere that is at a distance 2R from the sun

F₂ = [GmM/(2R)²] = (GmM/4R²)

P₂ = [k/(2R)²] = (k/4R²)

T₂ = (F₂/P₂) = (GmM/k)

(T₁/T₂) = (GmM/k) ÷ (GmM/k) = 1.0

Hope this Helps!!!
