Plasma seems to fit here the best. It is known as the fourth state of matter, extremely hot.

The correct answer is plasma.

When the temperature of a gas is very high, as it is, in extremely hot objects such as stars such as Sun,or incandescent or discharge lamps such as Neon lights, the gas exists in an ionized state.

At high temperatures, electrons gain enough energy to escape the attractive forces of the nucleus. When the electrons leave the atom, the atom becomes positively charged and these charged atoms are called ions.

At high temperatures, the matter can also contain neutrons which are neutral particles and are the constituents of the nucleus.

Thus the state at which matter can exist as ions, electrons, protons or neutrons is called plasma.

Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. One ball has twice the mass of the other.

frutty [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the more massive ball is greater by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, we know that the initial energy = final energy. At first, the balls are dropped from a height with no initial velocity so their initial energy is all potential energy. When they reach the bottom, all their energy is kinetic energy. So all of their energy is changed from potential to kinetic energy. This means that the ball with greater potential energy will have a greater kinetic energy.

Potential energy = mgh. Since g = gravity is a constant and h = height is the same, the only difference is mass. Since mass is directly proportional to potential energy, the greater the mass, the greater the potential energy, so the more massive ball has a greater initial potential energy and will have a greater kinetic energy at the bottom.

Additionally, let B1 = lighter ball with mass m and let B2 = heavier ball with mass m2. Since we know that intial potential energy = final kinetic energy. We can rewrite it as potential energy = kinetic energy = mass * gravity constant * height. For B1, it is mgh and for B2 it is 2mgh, so B2's kinetic energy is twice that of B1.

Which of the following is responsible for keeping objects on the ground?

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Gravity. It is the pull we feel. Neither motion could happen nor mass could keep us on the ground without the existence of gravity.
