The aorta is a major artery, rising upward from the left ventricle of the heart and curving down to carry blood to the abdomen and lower half of the body. The curved artery can be approximated as a semicircular arch whose diameter is 4.8 cm. If blood flows through the aortic arch at a speed of 0.31 m/s, what is the magnitude (in m/s²) of the blood's centripetal acceleration? EG Blood from heart Blood to abdomen

You are help to educate a patient on the ramifications of a partial arterial blockage you have recently discovered. To communicate the severity, you decide to tell the patient about how much of the volume of blood that normally passes through the artery has decreased. The relationship you are describing is called AV Poiseuille's equation and it reads: ™R^ (P₁-P₂) 8nl If the At radius of the artery decreases by a factor of 2 because of the blockage (as shown in the image below), by what factor has the volume flow rate (A) decreased? At Wall of artery (a) Artery wall thickening Blockage O Note: Do not explicitly include units in your answer, however (include number only). Including units (like cm) will result in the question being scored wrong.
The human circulation system has approximately 1 × 109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8 μm a. Assuming the cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average speed, in centimeters per second, of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
Blood is pumped from the heart at a rate of 5.86 L/min into the aorta (of radius 1.2 cm) determine the speed of blood (in cm/s) through the aorta.
Each second, 5 525 m3 of water flows over the 670-m-wide cliff of the Horseshoe Falls portion of Niagara Falls. The water is approximately 2 m deep as it reaches the cliff. What is its speed at that instant?
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.518 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.55 m high and falls into a pool (see figure). (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-seventeenth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
Using the data of the above figure for the circulatory system (laid outhorizontally), and assuming a typical blood flow rate of 5.0 L per minute throughout the vascular system, what is the blood flow speed in the venules?
Milk is poured into a bowl at a constant rate of 17.0 cm3/s. The bowl has a circular cross section, but does not have a uniform diameter. (That is, different horizontal cross sections taken at different heights of the bowl have different diameters.) (a) As the milk fills the bowl, the milk level reaches a point where the diameter of the bowl is d1 = 1.45 cm. What is the rate (in cm/s) at which the milk level rises at this diameter? (b) As the milk continues to fill the bowl, the milk level reaches a point where the diameter of the bowl is d2 = 5.30 cm. What is the rate (in cm/s) at which the milk level rises at this diameter?
A car travels 120 km [W] from London to Hamilton. It then travels 40 km [E] to Brantford. What is the displacement of the car?
A vertical container with base area measuring 14.0 cm by17.0 cm is being filled with identical pieces of candy, each with avolume of 50.0 mm3 and a mass of 0.0200 g.Assume that the volumeof the empty spaces between the candies is negligible. If the heightof the candies in the container increases at the rate of 0.250 cm/s, atwhat rate (kilograms per minute) does the mass of the candies inthe container increase?
According to Poiseuille's laws, the velocity V of blood is given by V = k ( R2 - r2 ) where R is the radius of the blood vessel, r is the distance of a layer of blood flow from the center of the vessel, and k is a constant. A patient takes blood vessel dilation medication so that her blood velocity is modeled by Poiseuille's law with k = 489.5. Find the rate of change of the blood velocity when R = 0.06 mm and R is changing at 0.002 mm per minute. Assume r is constant. The blood velocity is increasing at how many mm per minute each minute?
When you turn on the faucet a stream of water comes out asseen in the figure. The stream becomes narrower, tapering off,as it falls. If the radius of the faucet is R, and the water comes outat a velocity V , then derive an equation for the radius ofthe stream as a function of distance from the faucet, r (h).Hint: assume that the stream is circular in cross-section.
