At the end of the school day, the teacher gives each student a compass. She explains that a compass is made of a small piece of

metal called a needle. She also told students that the Earth has a magnetic force around it. She asked students to use what they've learned about electric and magnetic forces to explain why a compass always points north.
Which of the following is the best explanation of why a compass points north?
A.The needle of the compass is likely pulled towards the north because the needle and north area of the Earth are both positively charged, causing an attraction.
B.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle likely has an electric force that is affected by the magnetic force of the Earth.
C.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle is likely magnetic and has opposite charges on each end
.D.The Earth's magnetic force causes metals, like the needle of a compass, to point north because of the electric force in the needle. They likely repel each other.

Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral
kaheart [24]
Each mineral has its own properties different from other minerals because minerals are made up of different elements. Different elements which can be found on the periodic table all have unique properties, therefore, gold will have distinct properties in comparison with zinc or aluminium for example because they are made up of different elements :))))
I hope this is helpful

Which liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

distilled water I guess !

Just a guess though

If you find this useful, please mark my answer as the brainliest.

Explanation:

If you find this useful, please mark my answer as the brainliest.

distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.
