A centripetal force is applied to the liquid via its container. Initially, there is no centripetal force acting on the particles in the liquid. They therefore do continue in a straight line, as the liquid is pulled round in a circle. This means that they move towards the bottom of the centrifuge tube. Dec 6, 2017
