<span>The answer to this question is that non metals are
volatile. Volatile means evaporating easily. Non metals have the
characteristics and properties of being brittle and poor conductors of heat and
electricity. Non metals are also good oxidizing agents and physically they may
be in liquid, solid or gas state. Examples of non metals are carbon, sulfur,
argon, neon, and hydrogen.</span>
Answer:
α = 1.114 × 10⁻³ (°C)⁻¹
Explanation:
Given that:
Length of rod (L) = 1.5 m,
Diameter (d) = 0.55 cm,
Area (A) = 
Radius (r) = d / 2 = 0.275 cm,
Voltage across the rod (V) = 15.0 V.
At initial temperature (T₀) = 20°C, the current (I₀) = 18.8 A while at a temperature (T) = 92⁰C, the current (I) = 17.4 A
a) The resistance of the rod (R) is given as:

Therefore the resistivity and for the material of the rod at 20 °C (ρ) is:
b) The temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20°C for the material of the rod (α) can be gotten from the equation:
![R_T=R_0[1-\alpha (T-T_0)]\\but,R_T=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15}{17.4}=0.862\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R_T%3DR_0%5B1-%5Calpha%20%28T-T_0%29%5D%5C%5Cbut%2CR_T%3D%5Cfrac%7BV%7D%7BI%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B17.4%7D%3D0.862%5C%5C)
Rearranging to make α the subject of formula:

Answer:
The car evidently moved in the South-North direction.
Mașina se deplasa în mod evident în direcția Sud-Nord.
Explanation:
English Translation
At night, in a dark room, you notice on the wall opposite the window the movement of light spots from the headlights of a car in a south-north direction. In what direction did the car move?
Solution
Light rays fall obliquely on walls but move in the same direction as the car's direction of travel. And from the question, it is stated that the light rays move in the south-north direction, hence, the car in question, moved in the South-North direction too.
In Romanian/In limba romana
Razele de lumină cad oblic pe pereți, dar se mișcă în aceeași direcție ca direcția de deplasare a mașinii. Și din întrebare, se precizează că razele de lumină se deplasează în direcția sud-nord, prin urmare, mașina în cauză se deplasa și în direcția Sud-Nord.
