it will do nothing
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
How does distance affect the ability of a magnet to attract a piece of iron?
Well I don;t know the correct terms,but I think the distance is sometimes affect cause if the magnet is small the force would be as strong as you think but if the magnet is large the magnetism would be stronger than the small magnet of pulling together.
What part of a magnet would you pick up most iron filing?
the poles of the magnet can pick the most iron fillings. Take a magnet. Roll it into a piece of paper and scrub it in the sand, and you will find all the iron fillings connected to the poles..

What happens when you break a magnet?
As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.
What would happen if lightning struck a magnet?
Pretty much the same as if it had struck a similarly sized non-magnetized piece of metal... The magnet would likely lose its magnetism.
What piece of equipment would iron and other metallic objects use to separate?
A magnet.
How would you describe a temporary magnet?
Any old piece of metal can be a temporary magnet; it can be made to act as a magnet for a while, then revert back to being just metal without any magnetic properties.

The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
