Who’s has bigger cross sectional area capillaries or aorta?

Physics

1 answer:

Natalka [10]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Even though the cross-sectional area of each capillary is extremely small compared to that of the large aorta, the total cross-sectional area of all the capillaries added together is about 1,300 times greater than the cross-sectional area of the aorta because there are so many capillaries

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave? why?Give reason

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it. The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.

Imagine that asteroid A that has an escape velocity of 50 m/s. If asteroid B has twice the mass and twice the radius, it would h

padilas [110]

Answer:

The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)

Explanation:

The escape velocity is described as follows:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

where $G$ is the universal gravitational constant, $M$ is the mass of the asteroid and $R$ is the radius

and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:

$50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is: $2M$

and the radius is: $2R$

inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2G(2M)}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{4GM}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

and we have found that $50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ , so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.

We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.

The answer is

Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A
