In order to figure out what is in a sealed box, you perform some tests. The box seems heavy for its size and is harder to remove from a steel table than when placed on a concrete floor. What kind of object could be inside the box?"
Common Wrong Answers
“A rock”
While a rock can be heavy for its size, it does not have magnetic properties and would not be harder to move on a steel table compared to concrete.
“A ball of lead”
Lead is heavy, but it does not exhibit magnetic attraction, so it would not have the same effect of being harder to move on a steel table.
“A brick”
Though a brick is also heavy, it lacks magnetic properties and would not show the described behavior of being harder to move on steel.
