<h2>Answer: size</h2>

Gel electrophoresis is called to the technique used by scientists for analytical purposes, in life sciences laboratories to separate macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins from various sources).

The process consists of separating the molecules according to their <u>size</u> and <u>electric charge</u>. This is done with a gel (a gelatinous substance extracted from seaweed, called <em>agarose</em>) of controllable porosity placed in an ionic buffer environment. This is how the gel acts as a molecular sieve that separates larger molecules from the smaller ones, because each molecule has different size and charge and will move through the gel at different speeds.

That is, the smaller molecules move more quickly through the gel while the larger ones are left behind.

7. A mother pushes her 9.5 kg baby in her 5kg baby carriage over the grass with a force of 110N @ an angle

jasenka [17]

Weight of the carriage $=(m+M)g =142.1\ N$

Normal force $=Fsin(\theta) + W = 197.1\ N$

Frictional force $=\mu N=27.59\ N$

Acceleration $=4.66\ m\ s^{-2}$

Explanation:

We have to look into the FBD of the carriage.

Horizontal forces and Vertical forces separately.

To calculate Weight we know that both the mass of the baby and the carriage will be added.

So Weight(W) $=(m+M)\times g =(9.5+5)\ kg \times 9.8 =142.1\ Newton\ (N)$

To calculate normal force we have to look upon the vertical component of forces, as Normal force is acting vertically.We have weight which is a downward force along with $F_x$ , force of $110\ N$ acting vertically downward.Both are downward and Normal is upward so Normal force $=Summation\ of\ both\ forces$

Normal force (N) $= Fsin(\theta)+W=110sin(30) + 142.1 =197.1\ N$

Frictional force (f) $=\mu N=0.14\times 197.1 =27.59\ N$

To calculate acceleration we will use Newtons second law.

That is Force is product of mass and acceleration.

We can see in the diagram that $F_y=Horizontal$ and $F_x=Vertical$ component of forces.

So Fnet = Fy(Horizontal) - f(friction) $= m\times a$

Acceleration (a) = $\frac{Fcos(\theta)-\mu N}{mass(m)} =\frac{(95.26-27.59)}{14.5}= 4.66\ m\ s{^2 }$

So we have the weight of the carriage, normal force,frictional force and acceleration.
