Assume similar data for the motion of the blood in your aorta. estimate how many beats of the heart it will it take the blood to get from your heart to your brain. (assume that the distance from your heart to your brain is 30 cm.)

Assuming that the distance from the heart to the brain is 30 centimeters, and the motion of blood in the aorta is 30 centimeters per second. There fore to solve for the time needed for the blood to reach the brain is:

t = 30 centimeters / 30 cm per second 

t = 1 second. 

The regular heart rate is 70 beats per minute, solve for the equivalent number of beats:

number of beats = 70 beats / minute * (1 min / 60 seconds)  * 1 second
number of beats =  1.2 beats 

Therefore, it takes 1.2 beats for the heart to pump blood to the brain.
