<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.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan

Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot

Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² = 2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁ = 4.427 - 2v₂ ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂ = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂ = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁ = - 1.477 m/s

v₁ = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁ = 1.477 m/s)

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max} = 0.11 \ m$

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂ = 2.95 m/s)

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max} = 0.44 \ m$

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t

stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

For vertical acceleration:

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

For horizontal acceleration:

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.

Gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s squared, and gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s squared. So if the mass of an object on earth is 40 kilo

garik1379 [7]

The mass of an object on Earth is the same as its mass on the Moon. The weight is different.

Weight = m * g

Weight ( Moon ) = 40 kg * 1.6 m/s² = 64 N

If the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kg, its mass on the Moon is 40 kg and its weight on the Moon is 64 N.
