hi
i'm doing a physics project on centrifuges (how they work+applications of centrifuges)
I understand what the centrifugal force is but why do the more dense particles get pushed to the end of the test tube? since the test tube is on its side gravity shouldn't have to do anythin with it. and why do the less dense particles end up being near the top of the tube.
also could you help me with applications of centrifuges(medical, forensic, industrial, training humans)---perhaps some good links, because I've been having a really hard time, and wikipedia's page was disappointing
appreciate any help
thanks
