A suspension of protein molecules in water (molar mass of 1.05x105 g/mol and radius 3.40x10-9 m) is placed in a test tube. The test tube is placed in a centrifuge which operates at 4200 Hz. a) If the distance from the axis of rotation to the sample is 4.0 cm, what is the terminal velocity assuming the protein reaches it instantaneously? b) How many hours will it take the protein molecules to travel a distance of 6.0 cm to reach the bottom of the test tube?
