Answer the following question and explain your reasoning..
A network of fine capillaries connects the arteries and the veins. The blood flows from the heart through large arteries, which subdivide and deliver blood to the capillary system. Each capillary is very small, about 10-6 m in radius, but there are so many of them that the total cross-section area through which the blood passes is about 0.2 m2 for the entire capillary system. This total area for the capillaries is greater than the cross-
section of a single vessel (such as the aorta) through which all blood flows. The average speed the blood moves through a capillary is
a) faster than through the aorta.
b) slower than through the aorta.
c) the same speed as through the aorta.
c) any of these, depending upon the length of the aorta.
d) none of these

b) slower than in the aorta.
mass flow rate = mass x velocity x flow area
since the mass flow rate is constant (blood isn't entering or leaving the body) the equation becomes
velocity a x flow area a = velocity c x flow area c
if flow area c is greater than flow area a, velocity c must be greater than velocity a

these dealers ar not selling all that many cars anymore, so they are starting to concentrate on doing repairs. Now for a dealer to tell you a story that is clouded with doom and not give you an intelligent explanation of just what it actually is,,,,is ludicrous. Your car only has 35000 miles on it,,,it is still a baby. You probably dont need anything very serious atall. Brake fluid normally goes down in the resivoir as the brakes wear--- it fills the void. Transmission fluid sometimes gets changed around 50 or 60 thousand miles. If the trans fluid is red then everything is okay. Not once in your post did you mention a problem with the car. Get a neighbor you know to check the fluid levels for you. And one thing more; Never get a transmission flush,,never,,,i dont care what they tell you,,,never get it done. And one more thing---stay the hell away from any jiffy lube. Find a local privately owned garage for oil changes etc.

Slower. Length is a trivial factor compared to cross-sectional area in fluid flow.
