Written Answer 3
The velocity of a protein inside a cell starting at the top and falling under the force of gravity is given by the differential equation
dvdt=g−kv\displaystyle \frac{dv}{dt} = g - kv
where g≈107μm/s2g \approx 10^7 \mu m / s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. kvkv is the acceleration due to drag and k=1013s−1k = 10^{13} s^{-1}. (Note that this model ignores diffusion of the protein which makes it a really bad model but we're exploring what gravity alone would do to a protein.
