how could turbulence affect a persons blood stream?

Answer 3

may cause the blood to clot, and if the clots get to big it could get lodged in a small artery and block it, which could lead to heart attacks and strokes

Question 4

what factors does flow rate depend on?

Answer 4

• the type of fluid that is flowing(thin fluids flow quicker than thick)
• the force pushing on the fluid(stronger forces produce faster flow rate)
• the size of the pipe or opening the fluid is through(bigger pipe=faster flow)
• the type of surface over which the fluid is flowing(smooth surface allows faster flow)
