The aorta transports blood from the heart to the body.
In a person at rest:
• blood travels at a mean speed of 10 cm/s in the aorta
• blood travels at a mean speed of 0.5 mm/s in the capillaries
• the speed of blood decreases at a rate of 0.4 cm/s2 as blood travels from the aorta to the
capillaries
Calculate the time it takes for blood to travel from the aorta to the capillaries.
Assume that the speed of blood decreases at a constant rate.
Use the equation:
change in speed
rate of decrease in speed = change in speed / time
