Questions and Answers
Why does a ball eventually stop rolling on the ground?
Why does a ball eventually stop rolling on the ground?
- Due to the air resistance slowing it down.
- Due to the force of gravity pulling it downwards.
- Because the ball loses its initial momentum.
- Because of the friction between the ball and the ground. (correct)

Study Notes
What is a Magnet?
- Magnets are special stones or man-made objects (iron/steel) that attract certain metals.
- Natural magnets, like magnetite, were discovered by a shepherd in Magnesia.
- Common shapes of man-made magnets include U-shaped, horseshoe, bar, rod, ring, and button magnets.
Magnet Interactions
- Magnets attract certain materials, called magnetic materials (iron, nickel, cobalt, steel).
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets (gold, silver, aluminum, copper, wood, paper, plastic, glass, clay).
- Everyday examples of magnetic materials: nails, paper clips, and steel locks.
Magnet Poles
- Magnets have two poles: North (N) and South (S).
- The strongest magnetic force is at the poles, weakest in the center.
- Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other; unlike poles (N-S) attract each other.
Force and its Effects
- A force is a push or pull exerted between interacting objects.
- Forces can change an object's motion (speed, direction), stop it, or change its shape and size.
- Friction is a force that slows or stops movement.
Magnet Uses
- Magnets are in many everyday devices like telephones, headphones, speakers, computers, and video recorders.
- A refrigerator magnet attached to steel door keeps it closed tightly.
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets that work when electricity flows through them.
