Estimate the volume of a human heart (in mL) using the following measurements/assumptions:. 1. Blood flow through the aorta is approximately 11.2 cm/s
2. The diameter of the aorta is approximately 3.0 cm
3. Assume the heart pumps its own volume with each beat
4. Assume a pulse rate of 67 beats per minute.

Explanation:

radius of aorta = 1.5 cm

cross sectional area = π r²

= 3.14 x 1.5²

= 7.065 cm²

volume of blood flowing out per second out of heart

= a x v , a is cross sectional area , v is velocity of flow

= 7.065 x 11.2

= 79.128 cm³

heart beat per second = 67 / 60

= 1.116666

If V be the volume of heart

1.116666 V = 79.128

V = 70.86 cm³.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
