It seems you mean 1x10^9 because there are a lot of capillaries indeed. The answer I got is v = 1.65788 * 10^9 meters / second

Given: 
vessel diameter = D = 8um
r = D/2 = 4um
v = velocity of blood flow is equal to cardiac output / total capillary area

So, v = Q/A

Where:
Q = cardiac output = 5 liters / minute
A = total capillary area = pi(r^2) multiplied by the number of capillaries

Solve A = pi(r^2) x 10^9
A = pi(4um^2) x 10^9
= pi(16um^2) x 10^9 = 50265000000 um^2

Convert to meters. You will get 50265 m^2 

Since velocity uses a meters/second unit format, you should convert Q to something more applicable. 

Q = 5 Liters / minute
= 5 L/minute x 0.001 cubic meter/ 1L 
= 0.005 m^3/minute 

Combine them all and you will get: 

v = Q/A = (0.005m^3 / min) / 50265 m^2 = 0.005 m^3 / (min)(50265 m^2) 

Then convert minute to seconds, and cancel out m^2 with m^3. 

v = 0.005m / 50265 minutes (1minute / 60 seconds) = 0.005m / [60(50265)] seconds

v = 0.00000000165788 meters / second
= 1.65788 * 10^9 meters / second

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Complete question -

Following their sixteen-week, closed-ended, grief and loss psychotherapy group with adults as reported by Price et al, which of Yalom's therapeutic factors was most identifiable?

a. recapitulation

b. altruism

c. universality

d. imagery

Solutions -

Out of the eleven therapeutic factors the one that will be easily recognizable will be the one which will involve some kind of action and interaction or any visible signs. Altruism would affect a person positively and help him/her to gain confidence. This confidence will be visible by the person’s action when he/she will help other people in the group to gain value and significance in the same way as he/she has done.  

Hence, option B is correct

Humberto measured the length of a stick's shadow from sunrise to sunset during the day. What did he notice from his observations
statuscvo [17]

Answer: C. Shadow length decreased from sunrise to noon.

Explanation: Think about how the sun is positioned in the sky. If it was noon, the sun is above the stick which means little to no shadow at all. If the sun was rising, its hitting one side of the stick, making the shadow longer.

1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

I tried my best hope this helps :)
