What rock can you use to pick up paperclips?

A magnetized rock, such as magnetite or hematite, can be used to pick up paperclips because they have magnetic properties that attract objects made of iron, like paperclips. These rocks can act as makeshift magnets for small metal objects.


What does friction allow us to do?

In general, friction acts to prevent objects in contact with each other from moving with respect to each other. Friction keeps your furniture where you place it. The friction between your feet [or shoes] and the ground enables you to walk. When you apply the brakes in a car, friction causes the wheels to stop rotating . Friction holds a screw or nail into a board and a nut onto a bolt. Friction between your fingers and an object allows you to pick it up. Friction is proportional to surface roughness. A measurement of the force needed to overcome friction can be used as an indicator of a surface's roughness/smoothness. When friction is used to reduce relative motion (or to get objects moving), a portion of energy needed to do so is dissipated in the form of heat. This is why a car's brakes get hot and why a nail pulled out of a board can feel warm. Usually, this heat is just a waste byproduct, but it can be useful. The friction of rubbing your hands together will warm them, and the heat of driving a nail into a board can be used to temporarily melt the adhesive on 'cement coated' nails.


Is gypsum used to make paperclips?

No, gypsum is not used to make paperclips. Paperclips are typically made from steel or plastic materials. Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral commonly used in construction materials, such as drywall and plaster.


Which tools could be use quickly separate mixture of iron paperclips sand?

A magnet can be used to quickly separate the iron paperclips from the mixture, as the paperclips are magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet. To separate the sand from the mixture, pouring the mixture through a sieve can help separate the larger sand particles from the smaller iron paperclips.


Why are paperclips important to the holocaust?

Because the Hitler used them as nipple rings!


Can you charge steel with a magnet and can the steel have a temporary magnetic field?

If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.


Why was the wire - wrapped nail able to pick up the paper clips?

The wire-wrapped nail was able to pick up the paper clips because the wire acts as a magnet when an electric current flows through it, creating a magnetic field that attracts the paper clips. This is an example of how electromagnetism can be used to manipulate magnetic objects.


Why don't my fingernails grow from the sides. I used to pick my skin on the side of my nails. Now they don't grow. How do you make them grow into a proper nail?

try using some nail mineral power growth stuff, its like clear nail polish, you could get it a cvs. oor anyother place


Is using a magnet to pick up a steel nail an example of turning chemical energy to produce kinetic energy?

No, using a magnet to pick up a steel nail is not an example of turning chemical energy into kinetic energy. In this case, magnetic energy is used to attract the nail, causing it to move towards the magnet. Chemical energy would involve the breaking or making of chemical bonds to produce kinetic energy.


Is a paperclip magnetic?

it can be if u magnitize it by rubing a magnet in one way on the paperclip.


Where is nail polish used most?

NAil varnish is used mostly on nails.


What is a nail set used for?

Nail sets are also called a nail punch. They are used to drive the head of a nail flush with the surface or below the surface.
