What does a magnet do to a paperclip?
A magnet can attract a paperclip by creating a magnetic field that pulls the iron-based metal of the paperclip towards it. This attraction is known as magnetic force, and it causes the paperclip to stick to the magnet.
Can a paperclip scratch calcite?
No, a paperclip is not hard enough to scratch calcite. Calcite is a mineral with a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, while a paperclip is softer and would not be able to scratch calcite.
How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?

How does a paperclip attracts or repels to a magnet in water?
A paperclip will be attracted to a magnet in water just like it would be in air. The water may slightly decrease the strength of the attraction due to the presence of water molecules, but the paperclip will still be drawn towards the magnet. If the paperclip is non-magnetic, then it will not be attracted to the magnet in any environment.
Can a magnet repel a paperclip?
Yes, a magnet can repel a paperclip if the paperclip is made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, like aluminum. The magnet's magnetic field will interact with the paperclip's electrons, causing it to repel.
