Magnetism, Electricity and Gravitational Force Lesson

Cameron and Morgan are each holding a bar magnet with opposite poles facing each other. They walk in opposite directions until they stop feeling their magnet pull towards the other one. What can they conclude about the distance between them when they stop feeling their magnets pull?

• They are outside the magnetic field of their magnets.

• The distance made the magnets' force stronger.

• The magnetic fields are far enough apart to change direction.

• The magnetic field was weaker when they were close.

A student claims that Earth has a magnetic field. Which evidence would best support the student's claim?

• The student creates a working circuit that illuminates a bulb using wire and a battery.

• The student turns in all directions with a compass and the needle always points north.

• The student receives a shock after walking across the carpet and touching a doorknob.

• The student rolls a ball down a large hill and the ball comes to a complete stop at the bottom

Ivan has a magnet and four different objects. He places the magnet near each of the objects and records whether each object attracts, repels, or has no reaction. Which question is Ivan's experiment designed to answer?

• Which type of magnet will apply force on an object?

• How can magnetic force affect an object's shape?

• Which objects will respond to a magnetic force?

• How does an object's gravity affect a magnet?

If Earth had twice the mass it has now, how would the gravitational force between it and the Sun change?

• The gravitational force would be twice as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be four times as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be half as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be the same as it is now.

Two new planets are discovered, planet X and planet Y. The planets have identical volumes, but the mass of planet X is two times greater than the mass of planet Y. If two identical space ships land on each planet, which of the following will be true?

• The mass of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet X.

• The weight of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet X.

• The mass of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet Y.

• The weight of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet Y.

A magnet can hold a piece of paper to the door of a refrigerator. How does the magnet stick without touching the door?

• Gravity attracts the magnet to the door.

• The magnet induces a magnetic field in the paper.

• The magnetic force of the magnet can act at a distance.

• Atoms from the magnet pass through the paper and touch the door.

A student claims that the magnetic fields are not the same across the magnet. Using the picture, what evidence best supports the claim?

• The magnetic fields of the magnet are strongest at both poles.

• The magnetic fields of the magnet are strongest at the north pole.

• The magnetic fields of the magnet are strongest at the south pole.

• The magnetic fields of the magnet are strongest at the middle
