Answer: the average velocity decreases

Explanation:

From the provided data we have:

Vessel    avg. diameter[mm] number

Aorta                 25.0                   1

Arteries             4.0                    159

Arteioles           0.06                 1.4*10^7

Capillaries         0.012               2.9*10^9

from the information, let \hat{m} be the mass flow rate, \rho is density, n number of vessels, and A is the cross-section area for each vessel

the flow rate is constant so it is equal for all vessels,

The average velocity is related to the flow rate by:

\hat{m} = v* \rho * A * n

we clear the side where v is in:

v = \frac{\hat{m}}{\rho A n}

area is π*R^2 where R is the average radius of the vessel (diameter/2)

we get:

v = \frac{\hat{m}}{\rho \pi R^2 n}

you can directly see in the last equation that if we go from the aorta to the capillaries, the number of vessels is going to increase ( n will increase and R is going to decrease ) . From the table, R is significantly smaller in magnitude orders than n, therefore, it wont impact the results as much as n. On the other hand, n will change from 1 to 2.9 giga vessels which will dramatically reduce the average blood velocity

exis [7]

The brakes are being bled on a passenger vehicle with a disc/drum brake system is described in the following

Explanation:

1.Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters. A brake system is designed to take kinetic energy and transfer it into heat energy.

2.Since the piston needs to be pushed back into the caliper in order to fit over the new pads, I do open the bleeder screw when pushing the piston back in. This does help prevent debris from traveling back through the system and contaminating the ABS sensors

3.There are three methods of bleeding brakes: Vacuum pumping. Pressure pumping. Pump and hold.

4,Brake drag is caused by the brake pads or shoes not releasing completely when the brake pedal is released. ... A worn or corroded master cylinder bore causes excess pedal effort resulting in dragging brakes. Brake Lines and Hoses: There may be pressure trapped in the brake line or hose after the pedal has been released.

With the aid of a labbled diagram describe the operation of a core type single phase transformer​
olasank [31]

Answer:

A simple single-phase transformer has each winding being wound cylindrically on a soft iron limb separately to provide a necessary magnetic circuit, which is commonly referred to as “transformer core”. It offers a path for the flow of the magnetic field to induce voltage between two windings.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "15456.8 N".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The inside volume will be:

= 3.14\times (\frac{1.1}{2} )^2\times (2.44-0.82)

= 3.14\times \frac{1.21}{4}\times 1.62

= 3.14\times 03025\times 1.62

= 1.538757 \ m^3

hence,

The buoyant force will be:

= V\times Pw\times g

= 1.538757\times 1025\times 9.8

= 15456.8 \ N
