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.

In a heat engine if 1000 j of heat enters the system the piston does 500 j of work, what is the final internal energy of the sys
nydimaria [60]

Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J

Solution :

(1) The equation used is,

\Delta U=q+w\\\\U_{final}-U_{initial}=q+w

where,

U_{final} = final internal energy

U_{initial} = initial internal energy

q = heat energy

w = work done

(2) The known variables are, q, w and U_{initial}

initial internal energy = U_{initial} = 2000 J

heat energy = q = 1000 J

work done = w = 500 J

(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get

U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)

(4) By solving the terms, we get

U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)

U_{final}-(2000J)=1500J

U_{final}=2000J+1500J

U_{final}=3500J

(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J

The spring constant for the spring in above Table is 20 N/m.
satela [25.4K]
The answer is 0.025J.

W=1/2*k*x^2
W=1/2*20*0.050^2
W=0.025J
