a plasma is a hot ionized gas consisting of equal numbers and positively charged ions and negativly charged electrons. the characterisitcs of plasma are different from those of oirdinary gases so plama is consideres the fourth state of matter
Answer:
(b) EAST
Explanation:
you can assume that the magnetic field points rightward, that is, in the positive x direction (NORTH). Furthermore, you can assume that the direction of the motion of the electron is in the positive y direction. Hence, you have:

You use the Lorentz formula to known which is the direction of the magnetic force over the electron:

which implies the cross product between the unitary vecors j and i, that is
(WEST)
However, the minus sign of the charge of the electron changes the direction 180°. Hence, the direction is k. That is, to the EAST
Explanation:
A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.
F = kx
40 N = k (0.4 m)
k = 100 N/m
B) Period of a spring-mass system is:
T = 2π √(m / k)
T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)
T = 1 s
Frequency is the inverse of period.
f = 1 / T
f = 1 Hz
I'm guessing that this is a problem to find the weight of a 90kg mass on a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 4 m/s^2. (Much less gravity than Earth, a little more than Mars.)
Just do the multiplication, and you get
360 Newtons.
