Gravity - using a centrifuge to speed things up.

Note that if the substances are mixable then this fails.

Wht is the density of oil?

There are different densities of oils used in cars. It's known as 'viscosity'. In engine oils this ranges from 5 to about 30. Some gear oils, as in back axles range up to 85 or more (this is very thick and dense)


How is the number and characteristics of Earth's layers known?

Knowledge about the layers of the Earth is derived from a variety of sources. Physical data from the products of volcanism reveal the substances of the upper mantle. Data from the study of plate tectonics also provides clues on the temperatures, pressures, and densities necessary to cause plate motions. The laws of physics and gravity indicate the overall density of the planet and it's effect on the space based objects around it. Study of the Earth's gravitational field reveals characteristics about the outer core. Examination of meteorites and the moon help reveal the material present in our own planet. But the most significant information on the number and characteristics of Earth's layers have come to be known by the study of the P and S seismic waves which indicate the location of the boundaries between layers and their individual densities.


Cell organelles may be separated according to their densities by the use of?

Cell organelles may be separated according to their densities by the use of centrifugation.


What command displays the mappings between different layers of the network architecture?

ps or /proc


Why do scientists believe that the earth is made up of different layers?

for the same reason that if you pour oil on top of a jar of water the oil stays on top. the layers of the earth have different densities and so the heaviest stuff sank to the center while the lighter stuff rose to the top.

Using a machine how to separate oil and water?

One method to separate oil and water using a machine is by employing a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the mixture at high speeds, causing the oil and water to separate due to their different densities. The separated layers can then be collected and extracted individually.


What happens if milk and sea water is mixed?

They would separate out because they have different densities.


What is the machine used to separate particles of different weights?

It's called a centrifuge; it spins to separate them based on densities.
