Chapter 2 Review Flashcard

Front

What happens when two magnetic toy trains are placed close to each other?

Back

The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the magnets apart.

Front

What is the term for pushing objects away from one another?

Back

Repel

Front

What movement of a magnetic cart results in the largest increase in Potential Energy?

Back

Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right (-->).

Front

What happens to the potential energy when a magnetic toy train is moved away from a stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the energy that an object has because it is moving?

Back

Kinetic Energy.

Front

What is the definition of Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What is the difference between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion, while Potential Energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between charged particles due to their motion.

Front

What happens to the magnetic force when two magnets are brought closer together?

Back

The magnetic force increases as the magnets are brought closer together.

Front

What is an example of an object with high Potential Energy?

Back

A book placed on a high shelf has high Potential Energy due to its position.
