On an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is
f=kr5/2where k is a constant.
Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be?

Choose an Applied Force at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Mass. Graph Acceleration vs. Mass. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line). Make sure that Mass information is used as the x value Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value Add a trendline – see what fits best – linear, exponential, polynomial, etc … Add a copy of you graph below the table Applied Force (N) Mass (kg) Acceleration (m/s²)arrow_forward
