Explain how soilds non metals are different from solid metals

Asun-sized star will spend most of its lifetime as a: white dwarf red giant protostar main-sequence star

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
