A student conducted an experiment with an electromagnet and paperclips. Her data is shown in the graph at the left. Which question could best be answered by this experiment?

How does the current flowing through an electromagnet affect the magnet's strength?

what kinds of objects are attracted by the electromagnet?

How many paperclips can an electromagnet hold before current stops flowing through it?

Does putting more paperclips onto an electromagnet increase the current flowing through the magnet?

A student built a simple electromagnet with a size D battery, some copper wire, and an iron nail. She performed a simple experiment with her electromagnet. Her data is shown below. Which question could best be answered by her experiment?

How does the number of loops affect the magnet's strength?

Does battery size affect the number of paperclips the magnet can hold?

Will an electromagnet work with wire made from iron instead of copper?

What is the maximum number of paperclips that the magnet can hold?

A 2-kg plant resting on a table applies a force of approximately 20 N downward on the table and the table applies 20 N upward to the plant. WHY?

When two objects interact, they apply equal and opposite forces against each other.

The table must apply twice the force on the plant to keep the plant from falling.

The force applied by an object is the product of the object's mass and the acceleration of gravity.

The force applied by the table is the quotient of the plant's mass and its applied force on the table.

If a chair applies force of 300 N to a child then the child must apply 300 N to the chair. Which best explains this?

The chair and child apply equal and opposite forces against each other when they interact.

The chair must apply at least twice the force to keep from collapsing.

The force applied by an object is the product of the object's mass and the acceleration of gravity.

The force applied by the chair is the quotient of the child's mass and his downward force on the chair.

Which situation most clearly presents an example of Newton's third law of motion?

The wheels of a car push backward against the road while the road pushes the wheels forward.

The force that occurs when two cars collide is dependent upon their mass and velocity.

A car with zero velocity will not move until it is acted upon by some horizontal force.

A moving car with some velocity will not slow down unless friction is applied to the tires.

The image shows an art display. Behind the canvas is an iron bar wrapped in copper wire that is attached to a battery, and on the canvas are nails held in place. Why do the nails stay on the canvas instead of falling to the floor?

because the electricity from the battery turns the iron bar into a magnet

because the canvas and the nails have opposite magnetic poles

because the nails conduct the electric current produced by the battery

because the canvas blocks the repulsive force between the iron bar and nails
