What is the most accurate description of the plasma state of matter

Identical marbles are released from the same height on each of the following four frictionless ramps . compare the speed of the marbles at the end of each ramp. explain your reasoning

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.

The softest and hardest minerals are: softest hardest
