I'm struggling with this question:
A red blood cell and a leukocyte collide from converging arteries. The RBC, being lighter, ricochets obliquely off the vein's longitudinal axis while continuing to move to the right. What is the direction of the RBC's acceleration?
The answers are just arrows so I'll describe as if they were sitting on a clock.
A. Straight up (12oo)
B. Up to the left (1000)
C. Right (300)
D. Up to the right (2oo)
I said D since that was what I pictured, but the...
