Plasma is a state of matter that is often thought of as a subset of gases, but the two states behave very differently. Like gases, plasma's have no fixed shape or volume, and are less dense than solids or liquids.May 5, 2016

In other words, plasma was first identified in a Crookes tube, and so described by Sir William Crookes in 1879 (he called it "radiant matter"). The nature of this "cathode ray" matter was subsequently identified by British physicist Sir J.J. Thomson in 1897. The term "plasma" was coined by Irving Langmuir in 1928.

Two ranger stations are on an east-west line 110 mi apart. A forest fire is located on a bearing of N 42º E from the western sta

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

AB = 110 miles

Let the distance of the western station from fire is d.

As according to the diagram, use Sine law

$\frac{d}{Sin 15}=\frac{110}{Sin 133}$

d = 110 x 0.2588 / 0.73

d = 39 miles

components of the speed of the coin is given as

$v_x = v cos60$

$v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s$

$v_y = vsin60$

$v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s$

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

$t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}$

$t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}$

$t = 0.656 s$

now in order to find the height

$h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2$

$h = 1.52 m$

so it is placed at 1.52 m height

How Does Earth's gravitational force field act on objects that aren't touching Earth's surface?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity is a field force since the earth does not have to actually “touch” an object to pull it toward the earth. A magnetic force is a field force that attracts or repels another magnet. Likewise, electric charges cause attracting or repelling forces without actual contact between the charges

Astar is 10 light years away from the earth. Suppose it brightens up suddenly today, after how long can we see this change?

Blababa [14]

The phrase "light year" is a distance ... it's the distance that light travels through vacuum in one year.

When you look at an object located 1 light year away from you, you see it as it was 1 year ago.

If a star located 10 light years away from us suddenly brightens, or dims, or explodes, we see the event 10 years later.
