Question

each other. then, after one magnet is reversed, the magnets repel each other. this shows that magnetic force depends on the direction of magnetic fields. 4 salt is not magnetic. what would happen if salt was sprinkled over the glass? justify your answer. make an observation! you will need strong observations to answer the guiding question later.

Explanation:

Salt is non - magnetic, so sprinkling it over the glass (where there are magnets interacting, likely with magnetic particles or a magnetic setup) won't affect the magnetic forces between the magnets. The magnetic interaction depends on magnetic properties of materials, and salt lacks such properties. So the magnets' behavior (attraction or repulsion) will remain unchanged as salt doesn't interact with magnetic fields or affect the magnetic fields of the magnets.

Answer:

If salt was sprinkled over the glass, the magnetic forces between the magnets (or magnetic objects) would remain unchanged. This is because salt is not a magnetic material, meaning it does not interact with magnetic fields or affect the magnetic fields of the magnets. So the attraction or repulsion between the magnets (depending on their pole orientations) will still occur as it did before adding the salt.
