Examine the system model below, which shows a car moving along a track at two different points in time.
Assume there is no friction between the car and the track.
In the before image, a car is moving along a track at a constant speed towards a motionless wheel.
In the after image, the car has contacted the wheel, which begins to spin. The car continues to travel along the track at a slower speed.
Use your knowledge of the transfer of energy to complete the claim below to describe what causes the wheel to spin after contact with the car. Then, complete your scientific explanation by supporting your claim with evidence and reasoning.

Question 21
21.
In an experiment to test the construction of electromagnets, the three electromagnets in the diagram were used to lift paperclips. The average number of paperclips each could lift is listed to the right of each diagram. The number of paperclips lifted indicates the strength of the electromagnet (more paper clips = stronger electromagnet).
Make a bar graph of the results of this experiment. The x-axis has been completed for you. Be sure to include a label and scale on the y-axis and provide a title for the graph.
