Arteries and veins are blood vessels. They are essential parts of the circulatory system. Although both of them are considered as blood vessels, they have different purposes and have a slight difference in their structure. The main purpose of these blood vessels are to carry blood throughout the body and distribute the nutrients and oxygen from the blood and at the same time, help with eliminating waste.

The role of arteries is to carry blood from the heart to carry blood away from the heart. Almost all the arteries in the body carry, what we call oxygenated blood. This is blood that has been oxygenated or received oxygen from the lungs. Only the pulmonary artery carries unoxygenated blood. Arteries are a thicker structurally than veins. This is because they need to be able to withstand the pressure that comes from the pumping of the heart.

The role of veins on the other hand is to carry blood to the heart. Almost all veins in the body carry unoxygenated blood. The only vein in the body that carries oxygenated blood is the pulmonary vein. Now veins have thinner walls than arteries.

A common medical issue for both would be hypertension. This occurs when the pressure exerted by blood on the blood vessels is too high. Without treatment this condition can cause other cardiovascular problems. Although this is generally a blood vessel issue, hypertension affects arteries the most because more pressure is exerted on the arteries than veins.

Varicose veins is another common issue which occurs in the leg veins. They are more common in women than men. This happens when the valves in the veins fail, which causes backflow of blood. The back flow causes increases pressure on the veins and causes dilation.

Answer from: Quest

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

Answer from: Quest

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

$p(t)=0.3t^2+6t+80$

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

$p(0)=0+0+80=80$

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

$p(t)=2\times 80=160$

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

$160=0.3t^2+6t+80\\\\160-80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\0.3t^2+6t-80=0\\\\\text{using quadratic formula ,we get }\\\\t_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \: 3\cdot \: 800}}{2\cdot \: 3}\\\\t=-29.14\ and\ t=9.149$

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

Amass m = 74 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius r = 18.4 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (18.4 m off the ground). since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why? ) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1. what is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? 2. what height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? 3. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? 4. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what is its speed at the final flat level (18.4 m off the ground)? 5. now a spring with spring constant k = 15600 n/m is used on the final flat surface to stop the mass. how far does the spring compress?
