The head of a hammer is often made of steel. This makes the head heavy, which helps create a strong force for driving nails. Steel is also strong. The head of a hammer must be strong to resist what force?

The force of the nail pushing in the opposite direction

The force of the air resistance on the moving hammer

The force of the person using the hammer

The force of gravity pulling down on the hammer

Which of the following does not affect the gravitational force between the earth and the sun?

The net electrical charge of the earth

The distance between the earth and the sun

The gravitational force between two objects will be very small, unless which of the following is true?

Both objects must have very large masses.

The objects must be very far apart.

One of the objects must have a very large mass.

Both objects must be in the solid state of matter.

Which of the following data would support the claim that the gravitational force between objects depends on mass ?

Gravitational force is stronger on more massive planets.

An object's weight can change depending where it is on Earth.

The further a planet is away from the sun, the smaller the gravitational force.

A rocket can escape Earth's gravity by travelling at high speed.

The pull of gravity on Earth is a direct result of the

weight of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Students attached both ends of a long wire to the poles of a battery and wrapped the wire around a spoon. In this arrangement, the spoon is able to pick up five paper clips. The students wrap more wire around the spoon and want to determine if the strength of the magnetic force has increased. Which of the following observations would indicate that wrapping more wire has increased the strength of the electromagnet?

The spoon now picks up seven paper clips.

More wire was needed to wrap around the spoon.

Eventually, the battery runs out of energy.

The ends of the wire must touch the battery's poles.

Mariah set up an experiment. She recorded her findings in a chart. Which question was Mariah testing?

Does strength of magnetism increase if more magnets are used?

How many paper clips can you pick up with one magnet?

How many trials are needed to pick up the most paper clips?
