a- For a fresh sample beginning to be centrifuged, consider the blood cells at three locations in the tube (A) nearest the eggbeater, (B) in the middle of the tube, and (C) at the end of the tube. * Rank the rate of rotation(in RPMs, deg/s, or rad/s) of the blood cells at the three locations A, B, & C from fastest to slowest. * Rank the speed(in m/s) of the blood cells at the three locations A, B, & C from fastest to slowest. * Rank the accelerationof the blood cells at the three locations A, B, & C from greatest to least. b-Approximations can make it easier to analyze a complex scenario. Why might it be reasonable to ignore the downward force of gravity on a blood cell in the tube if the eggbeater is spinning quickly? c- The authors state "rotating the handle of the egg beater at ... a comfortable pace, caused [an acceleration of] 280 g at the most distal point of tubing, which is 12.5 cm away from the axis of rotation." Recall 1 x g = 9.8 m/s2. What is the velocity of the 'most distal' part of the sample when experiencing that centripetal acceleration
