4. Your friend wants to perform a magic trick that requires a magnet to be strong enough to attract and move a toy car made of nickel across a tabletop when the magnet is placed underneath the table. (Note: Most toy cars are not made of metals, like nickel, that are attracted to magnets.) When your friend puts a permanent magnet under the table, it is not strong enough to move the car. What question should your friend ask in order to help solve this problem? aWhy do cars move?bDoes the car have a motor?cWhat kind of electricity is powering the car?dWill a larger magnet act with greater force on the car?
