probably because the paper clip weighs less against the magnet
this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail
that is a paractise question for yr 9 sats
yes
The paper clip is usually metallic - and will most likely contain iron.
They work by changing the location of the magnetism. Another way to think of it is by getting a magnet and having a paper clip follow it the paper clip is the platform being used in lifting. In a lifting machine the platform follows where the magnetism is which is what lifts it.
magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...
because it is made out of iron a magnetic substance

Because the magnet is not the same force as the paperclip!
No, a magnet will not be able to attract a paper clip that has a cardboard between them. The cardboard will act as a barrier, preventing the magnetic force from reaching the paper clip.
Magnetic Force
Zero - that is, when they are touching. The strength of the magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the magnet and the paper clip.
Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.
The paper clip clings to the the magnet
Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth is pulling it down with gravity.
They are kind of like a force around each other. They are negative and positive pulls. As you hold a paper clip to a magnet its an invisible field around the paperclip and the magnet. The paper clip also has magnet attracted metal so it will stick.
Well, there are two poles to a magnet. A negative one and a positive one. Since metals are good conductors of charge and the paper clip is a metal object, they will attract. The charge of the paperclip is opposite the charge to one of the poles of the magnet.
