<h2>Answer: free electrons</h2>

Plasma is known as the 4th state of matter and is itself ionized gas. In this sense, ionization consists of the production of ions, which are electrically charged atoms or molecules due to the excess or lack of electrons with respect to a neutral atom or molecule.

That is why in this process there are always free electrons. Therefore in heating gas to create plasma can yield free electrons, and the correct option is D.

Answer:

D) free electrons.

Explanation:

Plasma is the fourth state of matter where in matter exists in ionized form. When a gas is heated such that electrons separate from the atom and positive ion is formed along free electrons, a plasma is said to be created. Example: Sun is a ball of plasma. Thus, heating a a gas to create plasma can yield free electrons. Option D is correct.

1) See three Kepler laws below

2a) Acceleration is $2.2 m/s^2$

2b) Tension in the string: 27.4 N

3a) Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is the energy due to the position

3b) The kinetic energy of the object is 2.25 J

Explanation:

There are three Kepler's law of planetary motion:

1st law: the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the 2 focii
2nd law: a segment connecting the Sun with each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. A direct consequence of this is that, when a planet is further from the sun, it travels slower, and when it is closer to the sun, it travels faster
3rd law: the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Mathematically, $T^2 \propto r^3$ , where T is the period of revolution and r is the semi-major axis of the orbit

2a)

To solve the problem, we have to write the equation of motions for each block along the direction parallel to the incline.

For the block on the right, we have:

$M g sin \theta - T = Ma$ (1)

where

$Mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight of the block parallel to the incline, with

M = 8.0 kg (mass of the block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

T = tension in the string

a = acceleration of the block

For the block on the left, we have similarly

$T-mg sin \theta = ma$ (2)

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of the block)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

From (2) we get

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

Substituting into (1),

$M g sin \theta - mg sin \theta - ma = Ma$

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{M-m}{M+m}g sin \theta=\frac{8.0-3.5}{8.0+3.5}(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ})=2.2 m/s^2$

2b)

The tension in the string can be calculated using the equation

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of lighter block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

$a=2.2 m/s^2$ (acceleration found in part 2)

Substituting,

$T=(3.5)(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ}) +(3.5)(2.2)=27.4 N$

3a)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It is calculated as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. For an object near the Earth's surface, it is given by

$U=mgh$
