The answer is downwards because the ball is pulling down the spring due to its weight
The periodic table is organized in a way in which trends with certain things such as ionization energy or atomic radius would "work out". It also have increasing atomic mass.
It's also organized to tell you the electron and proton of each element, least to greatest. (the atomic number) Example: Chlorine has 17 protons and 17 e-
(Left to right)
(Top to bottom)
Lanthanum and actinium play the role of being in the bottom because of their large atomic radius and having many protons/electrons.
They're also in the F block for electron configuration.
The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.
This exercise has redundant information to mislead someone. You have the answer in the third sentence.
If the train completes 60 miles trip in one hour then the average speed is 60mph.
