High cholesterol in the blood can cause fatty deposits called plaques to form on the walls of blood vessels. Suppose a plaque deposit reduces the radius of the aorta by 25 % (that is rblocked = 0.75runblocked). What is the speed vblocked of blood through this partially blocked aorta if the speed through the unblocked aorta is vunblocked = 0.265 m/s? Assume the aorta has a circular cross-section.

In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
A helicopter needs to travel a displacement of 182 km at 17.0 degrees W of N relative to the ground in a time of 2.00 h. The average wind velocity is 38.0 km/h at 25.0 degrees N of E. What is the speed of the helicopter relative to air?
A pitcher throws a fastball horizontally toward home plate 18.39 meters away. If the ball is traveling at a constant speed of 40.0m/s, neglecting air friction, how long does it take for the ball to get to home plate? What are the givens in the problem? What are the unknowns? What equation should you use to find the unknown? What is the correct answer?
In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two sky divers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago.The stunt was great fun until the last sky diver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about 0.5 km, ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the sky diver lose control of the pumpkin?
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a headwind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour and 30 minutes. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?A. his plane speed equals mph.? B. the wind speed equals mph.?
an airplane flies with an air speed of 50.0 m/s [E] if according to an observer on the ground the velocity is 25.0m/s [N45E] what is the wind velocity?
An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by a = g – bv where g = gravitational acceleration and b is constant. After a long time of release, it is observed to fall with constant speed. What must be the value of constant speed?
The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 32.0 km. (a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell. (b) What maximum height does it reach? (At its highest, the shell is above 60% of the atmosphere—but air resistance is not really negligible as assumed to make this problem easier.) (c) The ocean is not flat, because the Earth is curved. Assume that the radius of the Earth is 6.37X10 km. How many meters lower will its surface be 32.0 km from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface at the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat Earth in projectile motion is significant here?

How fast would a car have to round a turn with a radius of 70 m for its acceleration to be numerically equal to that of gravity? Answer should be in terms of velocity, in m/s.
You're an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, examining a subway accident in which a train going at 90 km/hkm/h collided with a slower train traveling in the same direction at 24 km/hkm/h . Your job is to determine the relative speed of the collision, to help establish new crash standards. The faster train's "black box" shows that it began negatively accelerating at 2.1 m/s2m/s2 when it was 52 mm from the slower train, while the slower train continued at constant speed. What do you report ?
The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph. Finally, to reach its destination, it needs to turn towards west at a velocity of 350 kph. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the airplane’s velocity during its flight.
