Front

What happens to the potential energy in a system of magnets when one magnet moves against the magnetic force of another?

Back

The potential energy increases because the moving magnet is working against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the term for the force that pulls objects toward each other?

Back

Attract

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 a magnetic pole?

Back

The regions at the ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest.

Front

What is the principle of magnetic attraction?

Back

Opposite poles of magnets attract each other, while like poles repel.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).
