Suppose a friend challenges you to separate a mixture of wood shavings, iron filings, sand, and sugar. The image shows the mixture of the four items. Think about the components of the mixture. Consider how the unique properties of each component might suggest a method you can use to separate it from the rest of the mixture. 1. What tools do you think you could use to separate the mixture into its components? Explain your reasoning.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
