Suppose that blood flows through the aorta with a speed of 0.35 m/s. The cross-sectional area of the aorta is 2.0 x 10-4 m2.
  1. Find the volume flow rate of the blood.
  2. The aorta branches into tens of thousands of capillaries whose total cross-sectional area is about 0.28 m2. What is the average blood speed through them?
