a) earth acts as a lange magnetic. Therefore when a magnet is hanging freely, it points towards the magnetic poles (like a compass)
b) like poles repel and unlike poles attracts. We can conclude with repulsion that poles are same
c) In our everyday experience aluminum doesn't stick to magnets. (under normal circumstances aluminum isn't visibly magnetic)
The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.
Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).
Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Janice is the one who learned something by watching what was going on in the world around her.
Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)
2.a)acceleration decreases
Explanation:
Newton's second law:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.
When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.
This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .
