Amass of charged ions that can expand out of an open container would be considered a a. gas b. solid c. plasma d. liquid

The answer is C. Plasma

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plasma is defined as a hot ionized gas which consists of approximately equal numbers of both positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

Just because plasma is hot therefore, its particles have more kinetic energy and hence, they can easily expand out of an open container.

Thus, we can conclude that a mass of charged ions that can expand out of an open container would be considered a plasma.

tube or goog with be a great resource to with that question

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
