Which has more force of attraction an iron nail a piece of chalk and a rubber band?

The iron nail has the greatest force of attraction due to its magnetic properties, followed by the piece of chalk which has minimal attraction, and the rubber band has the least as it is non-magnetic and non-conductive.


Why does a piece of chalk wear out as it is used on a blackboard?

With every stroke of the chalk piece it leaves some of the chalk on the board. This abrasion of the piece of chalk causes it to wear down. This is similar to why the rubber tyres of cars wear down when they are driven over a road surface.


Can a rubber band a piece of chalk or a skirt be more easily broken?

A rubber band would be more easily broken than a piece of chalk or a skirt. Rubber bands are designed to stretch and be flexible, making them more likely to break when stretched beyond their limits. A piece of chalk is more rigid and a skirt is made of fabric, which are not as easily broken by stretching or bending.


Why a piece of chalk can be broken easily but iron cannot?

a chalk piece can be broken easily but not an iron piece because iron has greater intermolecular force of attraction which keeps the particles together . the strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another


How do you find force of attraction?

You can take a piece of iron and magnetize it!


How can you demonstrate that a piece of chalk has mass?

You can demonstrate that a piece of chalk has mass by weighing it on a scale. Place the chalk on the scale and observe the reading, which indicates the gravitational force acting on the chalk due to its mass. A non-zero reading confirms that the chalk has mass.


Is a piece of chalk a conductor or an insulator?

A piece of chalk is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity due to its high resistance to the flow of electrical current.


What is the best metric unit to use for a piece of chalk?

Centimetres and/or millimetres - depending on the size of the piece !


What do you get when you crush a piece of chalk?

When you crush a piece of chalk you get lots of small pieces of chalk.It is only a physical change. It is not a chemical change.


Is crushing a piece of chalk a chemical change or a physical change?

Crushing a piece of chalk is only a physical change. Chemically, it is still chalk.


Why does a rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape not burst when pricked by a needle?

When a rubber balloon is taped, the adhesive creates a barrier that helps keep the air inside. When the needle is inserted, the tape and the rubber stretch and distribute the force over a larger area, preventing a sudden rupture. This dispersion of force helps to prevent the balloon from bursting.


How long is a piece of chalk in millimeters?

It is a fraction of the length of a piece of string!
