Valerie is preparing a blood sample for analysis. She wants to separate the solid red blood cells and obtain only the liquid por

tion, called plasma. The red blood cells are too small to filter out, but are denser than the plasma.
Describe the steps Valerie could take to separate the blood sample.

Sample Response: First, she should put the sample in a test tube and place it in a centrifuge. This would cause the red blood cells to move to the bottom because of their higher density. Next, she would be able to decant the plasma and analyze it separately from the red blood cells.

Hope this helps :)

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light
larisa [96]
<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.

An eagle has a forward force due to its wings of 6 N. The drag force of the air is 4 N backwards, and its lift force and force o
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C. 2 N forwards

Explanation:

Net Force in y direction = 0 since the lift force and gravity cancel out. Net force in x direction = 6 N forward - 4 N backwards = 2 N forwards.
