Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the thickening of the arterial wall. In this condition a deposit forms on the arterial wall, reducing the opening through which the blood flows. Suppose that because of this disease, the area of the clogged artery is 0.8 of the area of the normal artery. If the blood is moving at 0.40 m/s in the normal artery, find its speed at the clogged portion of the artery.
Explain why when we try to close a water tap with our fingers, fast jets of water gush through the openings between our fingers.
You have two identical tennis balls and fill one with water. You release both balls simultaneously from the top of a tall building. If air resistance is negligible, which ball will strike the ground first? Explain. What if air resistance is not negligible?
