Question

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the
area of the person facing the fluid. Find the terminal velocity (in meters per
second and kilometers per hour) of an 80.0-kg skydiver falling in a pike
(headfirst) position with a surface area of 0.140 m².

The flow rate of blood through a 2.25 ✕ 10−6 m radius capillary is 3.80 ✕ 10−9 cm3/s. (a) What is the speed of the blood flow (in cm/s)? (This small velocity allows time for diffusion of materials to and from the blood.) (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 80.0 cm3/s? (The large number obtained is an overestimate, but it is still reasonable.)
