Centrifugal force acting on fine particles

AI Thread Summary
Centrifugal force does act on fine particles suspended in water inside centrifuge tubes. This force is present as long as the particles have velocity and are subjected to a rotational motion. The equation for centrifugal force, Fc = MV^2/R, illustrates this relationship. As the centrifuge spins, particles experience a center-seeking force due to their motion. Understanding this concept clarifies the behavior of particles in a centrifuge environment.

Is there any centrifugal force acting on fine particles suspended in water inside centrifuge tubes? explain, not only by textual discussion

Is this a homework question. If so then it needs to go in the homework section of the forum and use the template including the part where you show your own effort.

Actually, no, it is not a homework i just want to know if centrifugal force also acting in partcles suspended in water in centrifuge tube
because i confused about getting the real answer. Thanks
 
Ask yourself... What is the acceleration of the particles? What does that tell you about the net force acting on them?
 
I just want to know if yes or no.

We're not an Q&A site. We'll help you reach the answer.
 
Yes. Here is the equation for centrifugal force friend Fc=MV^2/R. As long as there is matter with a velocity traveling perpendicular to a force then there is a centrifugal force, if the centrifuges are spinning then the particle in them should feel a center seaking force.
