The radius of the aorta is about 1 cm and the blood flowing through it has a speed of about 30 cm/s. Calculate the average speed

of the blood in the capillaries given the total cross section of all the capillaries is about 2000 cm2.

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.

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?
rosijanka [135]
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have  a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />

An object of volume 0.0882 m3 is
vfiekz [6]

The density of the fluid is 776.3 m^{-3}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Buoyant force is the upward pushing force whenever an object is trying to get immersed in fluid. So this is the force given by the fluid on the object which is trying to get immersed. The buoyant force is found to be directly proportional to the product of density of the object, volume of the object. And here the acceleration due to gravity will be acting as proportionality constant.

      Buoyant force = Density \times Volume \times Acceleration

As, buoyant force is given as 671 N and volume is 0.0882 m^{3} and acceleration is known as 9.8 m/s^{2}. Then density is

   \text { Density }=\frac{\text { Buoyant force }}{\text {Volume } \times \text {Acceleration}}

Thus,

   \text { Density }=\frac{671}{0.0882 \times 9.8}=\frac{671}{0.86436}=776.296 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Density is 776.3 kg m^{-3}.

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps
