Spherical proteins of an unknown
radius have a density of 6.60 x 103 kg
/m3 and are suspended in blood
which has a viscosity 3.5 times that of
water. The mixture is placed in a
centrifuge of radius 10.8 cm which
spins at 9000 rpm. If the proteins
have a terminal velocity of 2.10 x
10-6 m/s, what is their radius?
Express your answer to two decimal
places in units of nanometers (1x
10-9m).
Spherical proteins of an unknown radius have a density of 5.80 x 103 kg/m3 and are suspended in blood which has a viscosity 3.5 times that of water. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge of radius 10.1 cm which spins at 9000 rpm. If the proteins have a terminal velocity of 3.70 x10-6 m/s, what is their radius? Express your answer to two decimal places in units of nanometers (1x10-9m), but do not include units in your answer.
Dandelion seeds have a plume made of thin
filaments that create a very large drag coefficient
due to subtle aerodynamics as the air moves
through and past the plume. The slower terminal
speed and longer time in the air provide greater
dispersal than would be possible for simple
spherical seeds. A 0.63 mg seed has a plume with
a cross-section area of 13 mm, and it falls with a
terminal speed of 40 cm/s.
