Answer:

Its shape is not fixed

Explanation:

Plasma is sometimes a subset of gases, whereas it is also a state of matter.

These two states are different.

  No fixed shape for plasmas, no fixed volume.

Compared to solids and liquids plasmas are less dense.

 Atoms are used in the making of Plasma.

In plasma state ions are the positively charged nuclei

 

When they gain or lose electrons these atoms and molecules acquire a positive or negative electrical charge,  process is called ionization.

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 400 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.00 cm and a ball with
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

A) v = 6.93 m/s

B) v = 4.9 m/s

C) x_m = 0.015m

D) v_max = 5.2 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

x = 6 cm = 0.06 m

k = 400 N

m = 0.03 kg

F = 6N

A) from work energy law, work dome by the spring on ball which now became a kinetic energy is;

Ws = K.E = ½kx²

Similarly, kinetic energy of ball is;

K.E = ½mv²

So, equating both equations, we have;

½kx² = ½mv²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(kx²/m)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v = √((400 × 0.06²)/0.03)

v = √48

v = 6.93 m/s

B) If there is friction, the total work is;

Ws = ½kx² - - - (1)

Work of the ball is;

Wb = KE + Wf

So, Wb = ½mv² + fx - - - (2)

Combining both equations, we have;

½mv² + fx = ½kx²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(½ × 0.03 × v²) + (6 × 0.06) = ½ × 400 × 0.06²

0.015v² + 0.36 = 0.72

0.015v² = 0.72 - 0.36

v² = 0.36/0.015

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s

C) The speed is greatest where the acceleration stops i.e. where the net force on the ball is zero. (ie spring force matches 6.0N friction)

So, from F = Kx;

(x is measured into barrel from end where F = 0)

Thus; 6.0 = 400x

x_m = 6/400

x_m = 0.015m from the end after traveling 0.045m

D) Initial force on ball = (Kx - F) =

[(400 x 0.06) - 6.0] = 18N

Final force on ball = 0N

Mean Net force on ball = ½(18 + 0)

Mean met force, F_m = 9N

Net Work Done on ball = KE = 9N x 0.045m = 0.405 J

Thus;

½m(v_max)² = 0.405J

(v_max)² = 2 x 0.405/0.03

(v_max)² = 27

v(max) = √27

v_max = 5.2 m/s
