Question

Medal. :)
A biology student wants to understand how blood flows through the aorta. To model the heart and aorta, she sets up two identical pressure-controlled tanks that push blood through a 2-centimeter diameter tube. Her results are shown in the table below. Using her findings, predict the outcome of the experiment if the pressure in a person's aorta were to triple, assuming her setup is an accurate model.

(Chart in comments)

Answer 1

It will decrease the flow rate by a factor of 0.5.
It will increase the flow rate by a factor of 3.
It will increase the flow rate by a factor of 6.
It will decrease the flow rate by a factor of 2.

Answer 2

@ganeshie8 @thomaster Do you guys know how to do this?

Answer 3

From the table it seems flowrate is 20 times the pressure ?

Answer 4

(flow rate) = 20*(pressure)

Answer 5

Yep.

Answer 6

increasing the pressure 3 times would also increase the flow rate by 3 times then ?

Answer 7

(flow rate) = 20*(3*pressure)

Answer 8

20 turns into 60 and 10 is 30?

Answer 9

Yep

Answer 10

So... now what

Answer 11

look at your options
