The thickest and strongest chamber in the human heart is the left ventricle, responsible during systole for pumping oxygenated blood through the aorta to rest of the body. Assume aortic blood starts from rest and accelerates at 22.5 m/s² to a peak speed of 1.05 m/s. (a) How far does the blood travel during this acceleration? (b) How much time is required for the blood to reach its peak speed?

Calculate the maximum force in newtons exerted by the blood on an aneurysm, or ballooning, in a major artery, given the maximum blood pressure for this person is 150 mm Hg and the effective area of the aneurysm is 20.0 cm². Note that this force is great enough to cause further enlargement and subsequently greater force on the ever-thinner vessel wall.
